I hear ya Nacho. I sat down and really read every line in my MCG this past issue. I was shocked at what some dealers are getting for parts. If I didn't already own the cars that I do, and the parts that I do, I likely would not be able to afford jumping in to MOPAR ownership at this point in my life.

Are you looking for 6003257 upper glass retainers? If so, there are some reproductions available on feeBay - Item number: 130282132796$24.95 for a set of two. I was looking at these and emailed the seller to ask whether they were correctly plated but they are apparently only painted. I'm still thinking about getting a set as mine are rusted beyond repair. He's right about the NOS pair going for $103 a while back...  But the NOS set before that only sold for $43 IIRC. |

Some people try to make a lot of money while sticking it to others. You expect to pay for things, but at a reasonable cost and $50.00....  I don't think is reasonable. |

Now that you mention it, I think I recall the ones on my Charger being rusted down to nothing when I took it apart, many, many years ago. |

Bench vice, Hammer, and a small punch to bend the curve around = FREE SET!!
Hell, I may start knocking these things out and drop em on Ebay if they are gonna go for that kind of money.

If you zinc-chromate plate them before you put the black goo on'em, I'll take two! ;D Mine look like this -  |
