It's not cheap to replace-- Tischer has it listed for $179 here. (http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=searchCatalogOEM&siteid=214672)

Thanks Kayger!! Ya I would agree its #13.. I will ask around hopefully I get lucky and ya find a cheaper one..

Its not cracked. I would try to slide it back into place first.

Its just that black piece that came off.. There seems to b something holding it together and based from the parts on kaygers post its #15 thats holding it all together but that part of #13 broke off :(

Mine completely came off at that exact spot as well. The problem is the glued on clips on the back of the piece break apart in the weather changes. I have tried to replace just the clips but it won't work.

I will have to order up an entire new trim piece.

So you ordered the whole thing ie Parts 13 and 15?

Those pics are awfully small to actually see anything. Do you have larger pics? Perhaps it's really something different than what it *looks* like from the provided pics.

[bullfrogs_M3]

I can take some pics of mine when I get home tomorrow if that helps, az3579.

djmajestik, I haven't ordered up any parts yet as I am going to try to just replace the clips and gorilla glue them on to the trim then reinstall. The clips are number 14 from Kayger's image.

Sure, that would be helpful, although I am pretty sure mine somehow broke off that square empty area.. strange because I know that trims material is pretty strong..
Thanks

Bro....There should be no gap. The 2 pieces just need to be slid together. I bet you can't see your lil rubber piece up by the sideview mirror.

I'm sorry Dane you are correct.. I can't see the rubber up front.. How would I slide it back?

No need to be sorry. I would try to put on some latex gloves (moar grippier)....and grab hold of it and slide it back. Let's think about this. It slide into its current location over time....and I know it'll go back. Used to happen on old ZSP periodically.

Thanx Dane I'll keep working on it..

**update..

So Sliding back was really difficult, it wouldn't budge.
So I snapped the whole thing out carefully and just snapped it back in place..
I was scared though that I might break it since its so expensive to replace..

It seems uneven but I can't seem to make it look any better..
My friends told me they can't tell unless they stare at it..
