Windshield Cowl Replacement

[fijicorey]

So the plastic cowl that lines up with the bottom of my windshield is falling apart. I found the OEM part number, 55112305AD, but it's very expensive to replace. I'm getting around $320 just for that part. Anyone know of any aftermarket alternatives or do I have to go OEM?

A quick internet search yields that this appears to be a common issue but I couldn't find any alternative product to the OEM part. I'd rather not drop $300+ on a plastic trim. The only alternative I see is to source a used unit but it seems like these things crumble so easily that it may be too risky.

You might try LMC Truck.

Try https://www.car-part.com/. Great place to find OEM parts from wrecked vehicles, etc. That seems like an easy piece to get 2nd hand.
