Default Broken/Cracked EXTERIOR WINDSCREEN TRIM PANEL?

This plastic piece in on either side of the windshield running from the top to bottom of the windshield. I think it is called the EXTERIOR WINDSCREEN TRIM PANEL, although im not quite sure. If you know the name or where I can buy new ones id appreciate it, thanks. Discovery 2 2001

Exterior a pillar trim. Lucky8 has both sides with Rivera for around $220. Atlantic British is higher but you can also check eBay. Atlantic British has a good video on removing and replacing them though if you need a quick guidance.

Only one worth picking up is a fiberglass replacement, OEM style cheap plastic is just going to break yet again.

my only issue with those are they are attached with 3m double side adhesive tape. Those guys are fixing to shut down for the Chinese New Year. I'm in talks with them to build me a Saudi style grille out of fiberglass as we speak

Agreed, but after seeing and installing a couple of sets, I actually like it better.

i figured they worked ok since the side molding is attached that way but I was worried about the pressure washing and wind

I had my windshield replaced at a well know company. They broke the cowling and got me a replacement. I think it was the fiberglass one. Did not last 2 months.
