Anyone know where I can get the black strip that runs front to back on the roof? I'd prefer not going to a dealer if at all possible. Mine is peeling in patches on both sides and it's been an eye sore for me. Thanks!

Check junk yards in your area. Depending upon the size o your city, they may not have any that new. If all else fails check eBay or craigslist.

Thats a dealer item unless you want one thats
already peeling from a junkyard. 'Same boat' type deal.
Pascal, chime in on this one?
Where do you get yours for repairs?
They cant be that expensive.

I hate to say it, only the dealer would know what that strip is called.
You can go to the dealer to ask them what it is called, but in the end , don't buy it from them.

They will tell you everything, the PN, the exact name, etc. Just be sure to say in the end "Egads! You want how much for that? Sorry, I can't pay that, I'm broke."
Then go look for that piece elsewhere.

$105 is crazy. Mine was peeling too so I had my paint guy paint them matte black and while he was at it he painted the trim around the windows and all that. It looks great and way cheaper than $210.
