I cant remember. I got in Ling last night and to my horror the right MrMike seat was really wet. Time to get that fixed. And while I’m there I’ll start my bubbajoe copy since my headliner is already out (reads missing)

$51 + shipping from GMpartsDirect.. P/N 20528472. Funny, my GM employee price is $56.. No shipping cost though. Fiero store does usually ship really quick though.
Not to stir up muck, but doesn't GMParts Direct package things individually and charge high packing and shipping rates for each individual item? If I were to purchase multiple items from them, wouldn't that discourage me from making a large order? I remember a similar thead where thepacking and shipping kinda negate the great discount.

That is how they make their money. You pay what they pay for the part, plus about twice the cost for shipping. Still cheaper than anyone else. I've ordered alot of parts from them. Shipping is above par. I order a pair of dew wipes and they came in a box in their original packaging taped to a 1x4 piece of lumber. I was worried that they would have gotten bent by the time I recieved them.

You have to compare prices on anything from GMPD. Some stuff works out better, a lot doesn't.
The logic doesn't work for me. $0 for the part and a $1,000 in shipping. What's the point.
The pricier the parts are, the better GMPD gets. But for many things I can get them at the dealer, pay sales tax and still be even or close enough it doesn't matter.
Shop around.
