    You'd not be getting good value for money by ordering the 2 new long black curved gutter pieces from an Online Vendor.
    [GM Part Numbers :92294363 (left, black) 92294362 (right, black)]
    Look how GM North America choose to package them each in a giant box.
    2 can fit in the same box and it only needs to be 2 inches thick.
    If you don't mind paying shipping on 40 something cubic feet of air then good luck to you.

    CP There aren't any dealers close to me up here, so I'm positive if I ordered I'd get taken to the cleaners on price... so I'm going to try my luck.

    Strange enough, the place I ordered from does 8.95 handling on the order, but shipping was free... we'll see how it goes. The other guy already got his, but hasn't opened it yet... however he did say the box arrived in good shape.

    Wish me luck, CP.

    Be the first to buy from that place, or else get in before they receive their next monthly shipping bill....that's my advice.

    Arrived today and installed - came in a single non braced box measuring 91x20x3. I didn't brace the front of the rear doors trim, so when the front popped off, it swung upward and put a scratch in my BPillar. Would be wise to remove rear of the trim first, then put something under the front of that piece of trim to pivot off of, removing it by lifting up the rear until the front clip pops loose. I took some pics and will post in a bit. I think I can buff out the scratch, but where it first impacted, it went through the paint and left a 1mm dot. Bah.

    All the same, thank you CP for supporting our community!

    Upper Door Trim Instructions.

    ###You do not have to remove the mirrors, just be careful not to scratch anything.
    The front door strips only have a clip at the rear, at the front they are retained by a pocket in the mirror housing.
    You have to lift up an inch at the rear to dis-engage the rear clip & then walk the strip rearward to get it out from inside the mirror pocket.

    THIS IS A 2 PERSON JOB, PREVENT SCRATCHES BY USING A COMPETENT HELPER.

    Hey Paul the trim arrived the other day and everything looks great as expected. I took a moment and did just the driver side front door and everything went well except I destroyed the clip of the chrome piece trying to pull it out. Are the trim pieces still good even without the clip? Other than that it was a cinch to do. I even took some paint cleaner and quick detailer and spiffed up the area to get rid of that black line.
