Need a Part.....Mr. Wizard or anyone else

[pocketAA]

99 RT/10 viper (drivers side)....it is the plastic cap where the soft top front pegs go into on top of the front winshield frame. I guess you can call it a sort of plate covering the opening. The plastic around the screw broke so now it is loose. I got a quote from a local dealer, not sure if it is the right part, but he quoted $190 which seems like an aweful lot considering the part is about the size of a small wallet.

Chuck or anyone else,
Can you give me a quote for the price of the part or can anyone else clarify if that seems correct? If it is, I might just have to fix it myself somehow.

Thanks again for all the help.
Brian

If Chuck can't help you out, you might try here:

Don Scharf Auto

X2 Builders - wrecked dodge vipers for sale

Also, many vendors offer a discount to VCA members. I noticed you are not a member.

That's about how much I paid. You have to get the plastic part plus the receiver. It comes as one kit. You can't get the plastic peice seperately.
Viper tax at its finest.

That is ******** that I cannot just get the plastic "cap". Thanks dave, I will try those others you listed and see what they say.

[Assuming that Dodge has a part # on it,] PartsRack offers new, 25% off MSRP. Used, 50% off MSRP. Have not looked, but I believe this part may be offered as a windshield surround item only

I keep one in stock [VCA discounts] and if you'd like it, I can give you some tips for the install [I've done a few! ]

Chuck... If you solve any more problems today for the Viper community with the same speed and precision so far, we're going to have to maybe give you a blue cape and hat or something so you'll stand out in this honor.

I know, it's silly, but just an idea.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. Not sure what I am going to do. I am going to take a closer look at it this weekend. I might just try fixing it myself. If not, I will contact one of the guys on here to purchase the part from.
