Default Least expensive part I have ever broken.


Broke this part yesterday. Was afraid to look how much replacement would cost.
Sometimes you get good surprises!

When I went to the local Chevrolet dealer, I was quoted about $50. Mine only had a corner broken, so it's back in the car.

They buy parts from GM and they have a retail price for all parts. Be angry at Chevrolet for charging the dealer so much.

Try to resist. It’s little things like this that add up over time.
