I need some help deciding on a part purchase
OK so anyone that has a Protege5 and had experience taking the side skirts off knows that there is two kinds of clips holding the side skirts. Any way after a good Ole body shop work my side skirts are sagging in the middle i know that the shop guys probably broke them while working on the car and failed to replace them. That's OK i don't want to watch as some idiots do a 1/2 ass job taking their sweet Ole time, anyway long story short. Morons broke them i must fix it. So i need 10 clips with a square top(item#3) and 18 with round top(item#4) My curiosity was overwhelming and i have decided to get a price quote on these parts from my GREAT UBER FINE Hamilton NJ MAZDA DEALER The parts clerk said "4.50 per clip" "whA?!" 4.50" HuH?!" You got the point. I must donate my Kidney to BUY 28 clips to hold my side skirts. Than i went on the web and found a site that has what i need for $54 for these 28 clips better but still kind of steep so I was wondering if you guys have a cheaper quote for these clips. Thanks!!! quote on the web I know web price is so and so but In reality im paing for a part that is only worth at the moust 25 cents. |
Take your skirts off and count up the number of reusable clips you have, subtract from the total, and then get a quote. Also Napa and other jobber parts stores have trim clips, you might be able to match up what you have with an aftermarket replacement.

Check the vendor section. We've got a few new vendors/dealers with discounted parts.
Also Ken from ProtegeGarage and mazdastuff. And yeah what p-t-p said, too. Good advice. |
