99 Limited 4runner - What would I call this part from inside the truck?

I really hope I am able to make sense in my question. I apologize if it is not clear. I bought a used 99 4Runner Limited and I am needing to look for a part, but I have no idea what I would call it.

Basically it is a plastic hatch that is located beside the rear view mirror on the ceiling of the cabin. I think it is designed to hold a remote control for a garage door opener. The part I am needing is the door that goes in it.

Does anyone know what part I am talking about and if so, what the part called that I am looking for? Also, if anyone knows where I might find a replacement other than a salvage yard, I would appreciate it.

There are always various vehicles being parted out, I'm sure you could work a deal with someone.
If you are feeling brave, you could also update to the 99+ style as well...

Basically, you need the overhead console.

Do you have a sunroof?

Yes I have the sunroof/moonroof (heard it called different things.) :)

What I am in need of specifically is the tan door that goes on the overhead console. Everything else I already have. It is one of those little annoyances, nothing major, but something I want to look for from time to time.

Thanks for the response on it! I know what the proper term is now to look for.

You know I didn't even realize there was a classified here. Always go straight to this forum. Thanks for the help!

Traylorr, I think that is the sunglasses holder. I had the same part missing from my Runner when I got it, and I found one on the classifieds. Also a picture makes things easier to identify
 
Mine was also missing upon purchase. You'll have to find an entire console and take the door off or swap the whole thing.

Found one on eBay for $30 a few years back
