Front Door Checks

Post by gtnovosel »

Sigh. Starting to get cracks in the driver's side A pillar near the top door hinge. Looks like its time to replace the long since broken door checks on my '03 GT.

I went to the dealer to price them earlier today and nearly had a heart attack at their price. Any leads out there for alternate sources for these?

I would recommend checking out GMPartsCenter.net. Their prices are significantly lower than dealerships and they offer free shipping (you do pay $8.95 for handling though). They also offer discount codes quite often i.e. 5% off any order over $50.00 or 10% off any order over $100.00. If you can't find what you're looking for on the site, email them with your VIN and they will give you the part numbers you need. Keep us posted and good luck ;)!

Try a Toyota dealer, just ask for Matrix parts, same thing I believe.
