Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Has this happened to anyone else?
It's tearing at the seams in several spots. One tear is about seven inches.
$78 from the dealer.
Anyone know of a cheaper source?
thanks!
I have a 99 C-2 that had the same thing occur and had the dealer give me a replacement under warranty, but in the meantime I had a fixed wing on order. I ended up putting the fixed wing on and never installing the "accordian" baffle. If you're interested in it e-mail me and we can work out a price.

I just did this DIY. I followed the instructions at Renntech (here):
http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...667&hl=bellows
These are the best instructions I've followed for an auto DIY in a long time. The job was just as described and took about as long as the intructions said. Perfect and a very easy job!
The only thing missed in the description that I did to make life easier was to remove the 3rd brake light in order to slide the upper metal retainer out of position.
The part number that you need for this item is:

I bought mind from Sunset Imports for $68.24
