It cost the dealer $94.23 if you can believe that, I do have a line on aftermarket glass that's just as cheap but it's actually inferior, has distorsion and blems. No thanks stick with factory as long as it's that cheep. This is something new with Nissan all factory glass a couple of years ago was way exspensive.

This actually brings up a good subject to clearify something. In general Nissan pays to much for add on accessories which leaves little room for mark up, For instance your side sills cost the dealer $99.00 sale price is $149.00 per side, a mark up of course $50.00 per side. That leaves us the dealer very little room to bargain with. Add on accessories are sold direct from the vendor to Nissan motor corp. Then Nissan has to sell to the customer at an inflated price. Which leaves very little room for dealer mark up. That's why I have trouble giving you guys a good price on fog lites etc. I don't get them for a good price. I really shouldn't tell what parts cost the dealer the Nissan GODS wouldn't like it! OH WELL

Nissan signs contracts with vendors to produce there accessories, I have a feeling Nissan and other manufactures get hosed, because the vendor produces the stuff for the dealers then turns around and sells it to someone else for less money or other vendors just duplicate it and sell it for less money. Like Nissan trailer hitches and roof racks, Alot of them are made by Sports Rack and Drawtite.
