  Are you saying they are $16 at napa?  Who else has them for the other pricees you quoted?  I saw a website  while back that had them all listed for like $2 apeace but I don't rember who it was, I just stumbled ito it.  I wonder if dealerships even carry them anymore.

• I snag them every time I go to "Pull=a-Part", sometimes I have to "mich" them myself, though.
  Good Luck-warren
