Good question. I got the 2 mint side pieces from a wrecker and am retaining them for now
I do need to replace them as chrome is lifting a bit on current side pieces . I was told to use a glass installation place to do the job.
Any ideas appreciated
Took my 2004 to glass shop and they charged a twenty to replace both right and left side pieces. Best twenty spent and only took a few minutes with no damage to the car.
I just got done replacing the center and right piece, really not that big of a deal if you are somewhat handy. Each piece is screwed at the end on the out side, and each has two nuts on the inside. Pull off the plastic trim inside (held on by clips and comes off fairly easily) and you will see the two screw holes for each piece of trim with a nut on each. You need a long socket (can't remember size, I think 5/16) to get to the nuts. Then take out the phillips screws on the outside, and one press in plastic hold down. The side pieces have to come off before you can take off center piece.
The biggest pain was to find the pieces and pay the price, about $160 apiece.
I need a left one if you end up with a good used. Thx,Good question. I got the 2 mint side pieces from a wrecker and am retaining them for now
