What's the right name for this?
When you open the drivers door on my 01 Tacoma extended cab and look down at the bottom edge there is a plastic strip that is about 3" wide and runs from the front of the bottom door frame to the back and holds the carpet down. It has about four screws in it. The screws no longer hold it down right and every time I get out I knock this thing loose.The plastic extenders that the screws go into are broke and they just wont hold it tight.
Anyone know what the proper name is for this plastic carpet holder
?
Also if anyone knows where I can buy one please let me know. Thanks, Mike

Toyguy, We have one junkyard in my town and it has "one" Tacoma in it but it's not a match or even close. This is a true Tacoma town as that's all you will see back in these mountains. Not many will make it to the junk yard as long as they can make them run and haul around there coon hound's and Bear dog's.

beartracker,
im going to save you A LOT of money, time and frustration:
don't buy a new door sill plate. run down to your local hardware store and buy these little inserts. you'll have to find one with a male end that fits.
cut off the ends of the door sill plates that protrude downwards. insert those little plugs into the existing holes in the body and then screw down the door sill itself.
