The cover over the keyhole just up and fell off while I was driving, so I assume that the part must be fairly simple to replace. The door handle works just fine but my car doesn’t have so much as a door ding yet and looking at the missing thingy is very annoying.
It’s a lock trim cover. Depending on the manufacturer, you may or may not be able to buy it separately, else you’ll have to purchase a complete handle assembly or try to find a salvage unit.
I would recommend replacing it because it isn’t purely cosmetic; it helps prevent water intrusion into the lock. Depending on the car, you can probably get a salvage door handle assembly for cheap. The pain is replacing it because you have to remove the interior panel to access the fasteners holding the handle in place and the linkage to the door latch mechanism.
I can’t identify the make from that handle but I’m guessing it is an older vehicle. This is the type of thing you are looking for but it will be specific to the model of car.
FWIW I found an exploded diagram of the door components of your make/model/year.
Looks like the escutcheon you’re looking for is Nissan part number 80644N.
However, since the old one fell off unprovoked, I would wonder about the integrity of the part it’s secured into, 80654N or 80606H (whichever it attaches to). In theory, you may have to replace that if its failure is the reason the escutcheon fell off.
Just be aware that beyond the part number, the escutcheon has a color code (after the part number with a dash). I couldn’t figure out what the finish code would be for the chrome you need, so you’ll have to look for that where you get the part.
