Noticed this today, how hard to replace?

After washing the truck today I noticed this piece of rubber on both sides is rotted away. I'll go to the dealership on Monday and see about getting replacements. Have any of you guys had this problem? Also, how hard is it to replace this? I'm hoping easy, lol.

You have to buy the entire wiper cowl. They don't sell the ends separately.

you will have to buy both pieces. skip out on the dealership and go straight to TASCA. It's really easy to replace it. you will have to remover your wiper arms then everything should pop right out. plus with the old piece being ruined because of the ends, don't be afraid to get rough with it to get it out since it doesn't matter if you break a plastic tab.

You can also order these from Tasca off eBay. 66 dollars for one side, 72 for
the other. 17.15 UPS to where I live. You might want to ask them,before you
order, if the fasteners are included. The picture of the actual part and the box didn't show them. I just went to eBay and looked cause I need the entire
piece myself and my fasteners are long gone.

Mine are rotted exactly as yours are; both sides. Do they pop in/out, or once it is out, is it out for good?

Cheaper to buy directly from rascals then their eBay site. There is one screw I'm the pass side that you can get at after you take off the drivers side.

It was a long time back, I think I paid $135 shipped off Amazon IIRC. Then there's prep work/bracket making and prep/paint. Somewhere there's a good thread with a link to someone's install on their website. I think I have one on it too.
