What Part Is This?!

I'm having a lot of trouble finding the replacement part that you can see here, this trim panel on the passenger rear door:
Honda Fit door garnish - Imgur

The basic story goes like this: a couple of years ago a Thule roof rack was ripped off of my car and it damaged the top of the frame. I took it to a shop, got it fixed and it looks brand spanking new. Fast forward to now, the part pictured is now falling off. 3 little clips once held it into place and were broken upon removal by the shop - how they fixed it was just with shoddy glue. I can't even find instructions what holds the whole thing on, which is why I opened up the garnish panel on the inside hoping to reveal an answer (but I think it's held by a piece of plastic). I've finally bothered to sign up on FitFreak and ask you, Honda Fit GODS if you may know...

I can't find this part anywhere. Searching for Trim Pillar comes up with adhesive taped on carbon fiber panels. I suspect it is called a "Trim Pillar Garnish," but I can't even find it on Honda's estore.

Thoughts?

Go to a Honda parts site like BernardiParts, look in the "Interior/Bumper" trim section, and find the "Molding - Protector" in the listings.

It should be either part number 72721-TF0-003 (right rear) or 72761-TF0-003 (left rear) which is listed as numbers 7/8 in the illustration. The part is listed as a Door Pillar Garnish. Please double check part numbers before ordering.

Edit: Here's a link to where I did the search...

Its called a "door applique" in automotive terms.

Looks like this is handled, but wanted to mention a lot of people will know what you are referring to if you reference C-Pillar trim as well.
