In need of A Pillar outside cover

Hello, was driving back to work today and my A pillar cover, the one on the outside blew off. Does anyone know where i can get one, or is the dealer the only option. fwiw it was black.

Thanks,

Cole

When I had my windshield replaced they had them in stock at the glass shop. I'd just get it at the dealer though, can't be very $$ I hope

$80 a side, should have them in stock at the dealership.


EDIT, its $80 for a pair, just check on REAL OEM

Get it at the dealer. They're about $30, and should be in stock. They're all black. My understanding is that they're pretty hard to take off because they have clips and 2-sided tape, and they usually break when a windshield is being replaced - hence the reason they're usually in stock.

My right side blew off after I had it in for a windshield replacement, I went back and told them it was their fault, they replaced it for me and when I took it to the glass shop they told me it was a known problem and that the newer MINI's(mine's a 03) they are glued and not using clips. So try to blame it on them and get it for free.
