Some of the generic stuff like panel clips, cabin air filters, washer fluid tablets can be good money savers, but I generally agree to avoid Amazon and eBay parts like the plague. Aftermarket parts from Rock Auto and local parts stores are often hardly any better though. My big wake up was in...

I've noticed a rattle from somewhere in the passenger area, and where the dash plastic curves around the instrument panel. Thought about just fixing the instrument stuff myself with black foam, but maybe I should have this whole service done. Pretty dumb question as this is the first new...
