ROOF DRIP MOULDING TRIM CAP missing

[Lyianx]

So i noticed that one of my Drip caps from the roof is missing. I poked around and found its part number

GJ6A505A1

However, the places ive found them are asking pretty high prices for them. Tasca Auto Ebay has them for $10.50 shipped, but that feels high to me for a small plastic part. Is this normal pricing for this part? Can i get an OEM cheaper elsewhere?

$2 cheaper:

Guess that means its about as cheap as it will get. I would expect a small plastic peice like that to be worth, like $2-3. *shrug*.

Thanks, bought one.

The cost is actually ~$4. It's the shipping and handling that screws you over. It's not unusual for dealerships to charge a $10 minimum for s/h, so buying little things a piece at a time doesn't work out well.

You could have driven to your local dealership to avoid the s/h cost, but then you're paying for gas and sales tax... Probably not worth the hassle.

The dealer isnt too far, but somehow i doubt they would have that part on hand and would just tell me they had to order it.

Yea probably, and they'd probably charge a higher price than you could find it for on the internet.

Well, i got the cap, and it looks identical, however i cannot get it to fully cover the small hole next to the roofrack mount opening, which is causing water to get inside of it still.

Any ideas?
