Interior / Exterior Visual TechThis section contains discussion related to visual modifications of the Toyota FJ Cruiser. Some items might include dash kits, roof rack modifications and other visual modifications.
During the process of installing my roof light wiring, the part where you remove the outside A-Piller cover, welll....... I managed to break 4 of the clips and then the cover flew off and landed in some gravel , denting and scratching it. Anyone know how much this piece is from the dealer? For a TRD i might add.
Location: The desert. And yeah, it gets hot here...

Re: Oops...
Go in and tell them it came off while driving, and it was to dangerous to pull over on the freeway and pick it up.
I, and at least 2 others, have had the piece right in front of the A Pillar do just that, flying off on the freeway. Dealer replaced mine for free, but if I had had to pay for it, it was around $350 for that little panel. I'm sure the a pillar is a little more. Make sure you replace all the clips with it as well.
Oh, you will have to get it painted once you receive it. My new one came in flat Black, and I might add, with a quarter sized dent already in it from shipping, so I had to have that filled before painting it green.

How did it come off it is also bolted on as well. all my clips are broken on the driver side and it has held on just fine at freeway speeds and offroading.
