The other day I kept hearing a flapping sound while I was driving and my passenger was able to see the little molding piece between the windshield and body on the a-pillar flopping around. When I stopped, I noticed that the little piece that "clips" in is broken. The weird thing is that it is the same on the other side, too. I tried finding the part on oemacuraparts.com but am getting lost in the details. I also tried searching on here, but "a" gets thrown out and I end up getting results for every thread with the word "pillar" in it.

If the part is cheap I'll replace it. If not, should I just try using silicone sealant or something to hold it?

Anyone?

$75 each, sucks! Thanks 007spy!

Inside or outside part? Can you install this yourself or does a glass shop have to do it?

tnobori1

Outside and it looks like they just snap in

oo7spy

Outside? This is the inside of the pillar. I'll be right back.

I found em... $75

This is under "Front Windshield". Part #4 is $75 though.

...beat me to it!

My widshield repairer broke the clips and temporarily glued the old ones back on until the parts came. I have them still in the boxes part no 73152-sja-a01za and 73162-sja-a01za. The glue is still holding fast a year later, the only issue is that it sits slightly proud and whistles over 110mph.

You know, I have yet to check how mine hold up over 110 mph. I better go do that!

tnobori1

What kind of glue? I don't drive over 90-95 mph, but I have a feeling you're talking kmh.

The glue was applied by the windshield replacement company, so no idea what they used I'm afraid. And I did mean 110 miles per hour and I also don't regularly drive at that speed so the whistling really isn't a problem.

tnobori1

Okay, thanks!

Just used some silicone sealant. Hopefully that cures the problem. I'll report back if it's still good in a week.
