Just curious - was there a reason to avoid the dealer?? I bought
some of these for my van a couple years ago and was pleasantly
surprised. They had to be ordered, so I waited about a week, but it
was under $2 it seems. Maybe mine screwed up, but I have found
that they are extremely reasonable on the weirdest things (and of
course, exhorbant on others).
