Hello fellow i30/Elantra touring owners,
I'm new here because I need some help regarding me Touring.
Bought it brand new from the dealership back in 2010 and currently has ~90,000 km on it.
Hasn't given me any major problems except a dead battery a year and a half ago. (I think it was -30 degrees celsius that day)
Other than that, it has not failed me.
My windshield cracked around ~55,000 km and I have not fixed it because it was fairly small at the time and was not obstructing my vision.
(the crack is on the passenger side only.)
Which leads me to this issue, where the Roof Moldings started to crack which exposed the metal piece right under it. My father thinks someone came and scratched it, but I think it's due to the cracked windshield. (See pictures)
My question is, where/how can I replace the roof moldings?
Would I just have to try and find some in the junkyard?
I called up the dealership and their asking $275.66 + tax to for the roof molding including installation.
Which to me is kinda pricey. I would like to change the windshield AND the roof molding at the same time.
Also, should I go with an aftermarket windshield? or OEM?
Any suggestion/comments would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
J
