HOW much for clear plastic?!?

Okay, so on the body (rocker panel) at the trailing edge of our doors is a small piece of clear plastic that protects this edge. (There's also a piece down underneath the rocker both behind the front wheel and in front of the rear wheel).

The one at the door edge had lifted a little on mine and had collected a good bit of dirt, and being yellow, it was fairly noticeable. So no problem, I just went ahead and removed it.

Now months later I'm realizing what GM Engineers already knew... that without it, this hard edge takes a beating from little rocks, etc. that the front wheel picks up.

Okay, no problem, I'll just replace them. Called my local dealer and I'm told they cost $55 EACH SIDE! It's literally just a tiny clear plastic sticker! Does anyone know the part number for this so I can confirm they're quoting me the right thing? (or has anyone else run into this issue)?

If you know the part number go to GM Parts Direct should be much cheaper

Get a small roll of xpel ultimate film or 3m from Amazon for cheap, trim to size and install yourself. You could try the spray-on paint protection film too but I haven't read good things about that stuff.
