Hi all, I am in need of an exterior windshield trim piece. The Winnebago part number is:

129497-06-02A EA TRIM - DRIVER A-PILLAR - BLACK

It is the vertical piece about 3 1/2 inches wide and about 38 inches tall. I am looking for a used one if possible. I've checked with 3 different Winnie dealers and have been quoted any where from $289 to $489 for this piece, Seems pretty excessive.

From my experience, Winne parts will never be cheap but you will get a great price and excellent service from David or Lonnie in parts at Lichtsinn Motors in Forest City, IA.

That does seem steep for a piece of aluminum. Another option (maybe cheaper, maybe not??) is to take the right side trim piece to a good sheet metal shop and see what they would charge to fabricate one. A couple of crimps and bends, drill three holes. Prime and paint it satin black.

I went to buy a trim piece for my 2000 Adventurer and it only cost me a new motorhome.
