Hello,
I was testing out an XM Skydock on my wife's 2006 Lexus RX 330, and when I tried to pull it out, it pulled the whole 12v/lighter assembly out, snapping one of the three prongs on the black ABS plastic bezel that surrounds the "Stay" and "Element" parts of the lighter. I've looked up and down the web for a replacement for this plastic ring (Part number: 55477-48040) with 0 luck. I have no Lexus dealer in my town, so went online to research. I see Toyota shows the '06 Highlander has a similar (if not the same) bezel numbered 55477-48020 for $7 and change, but was dismayed after calling Sewell Lexus (Fort Worth, Texas) to find that they don't show the part number at all, but believe the plastic ring is sold only as a part of the $250+ wood trim panel it sits in. This is a bit extreme, from my perspective, seeing the $7-some-odd part isn't integral to the panel and easily snaps in and out. I really need a hand here locating this part. Can anyone here provide some guidance or offer a lead?
I've included photos for reference.
Thanks,
