Ever had your windshield replaced? The dealer and better w/s places replace these moldings when they do the windshield - a lot of aftermarket places don't, they just glue them on - this is usually the result a while later.
It's definitely a dealer part, and you probably should have them or a good glass place install them for you, I think there are some clips you need too....
You are actually missing two pieces. The outer black shell is < $60 IIRC and it comes with new mounting clips already attached. I had to replace one after someone broke into my car (bastidges!) Then there is an inner molded foam core that goes between the shell and the A-pillar. Not sure what that part costs since I didn't need to replace it. I believe both parts are less than $100 and easily replaceable.
The rubber was the piece I rescued. Trying to be a 'sensible' driver I pulled it into the car as I was traveling down the freeway rather than letting it fly off into someone else.
Starts at 8:30AM, last car must be off lifts by 3:00 PM
Need to a MetroplexMINI member to take advantage of the event, we will have registration forms there. Cost is $25 to be a member unless the new Board changes that price. We won't know till they take over on Jan 15th.
We try to enforce a two hour max on a lift but make on the fly exceptions depending on need and the amount of people that show.
MoD usually provides lunch
Parts can be ordered ahead of time and picked up the day of the event. MoD does offer discounting to Club Members, just let them know you will pick up at DIY Day.
We've not posted the event on the MM.org site yet. Once we do there will be an RSVP function so we have some idea of how many there will be.
And you heard it here first. There may be an out of town vendor attending as well, these plans have not been finalized as of yet.
