Anybody have the part number for this trim piece?
Guys, the rear wiper trim on my wagon is starting to show signs of rust and I'd like to replace it. Anybody know the part number for this piece? Thanks!

It is pretty thick steel plate, what happen to yours?
When I bought our wagon, it had paint "Bubble" on 1/2 of that plate. I scraped the paint and touch up with black paint, but the corrosion eat up uneven surface.
For 16 bucks I could do cosmetic replacement, but never tough about it placing part orders.
This is the only place with solid rust showing on whole wagon BTW.
It is 12 bucks if you know where to shop

From the picture looks like it is just snap-in.
I tried to take the wiper arm and the nut was pretty frozen, so if you have the same issue, soak it with PBlaster day before.

Quick update - the piece arrived, nice and shiny!
You need to remove the rear wiper to replace it. Liquid Wrench is your friend! The trim is glued on with some rubbery substance. After you remove the old trim scrape as much rust and rubber as you can off the surface and then clean w. alcohol. To install the trim I used 3M adhesive spray applied to the back of the new trim piece. Left it overnight and now it's nice and tight. Considering the original held on for 10 years this one should last another 10...
