Damn. That is the crappiest design, and now I've gotta replace
another one of those door molds, $85 at the dealer, so I'm looking
around for alternative pricing/sources. Shokan didn't have any in
stock, who else might? They did have the center wheel caps for my
7-spoke wheels on my '98 A4 2.8, 3 of which I also had to replace
(talk about ANOTHER crappy design!). Good place: 800-255-2834.
