Now I know what I can get them for online but where they seem to get you is during the "shipping charges" phase of the order.

So I went by my new and local Nissan yesterday to get a set but was still ill prepared for the $38 quote. I asked if that was for the whole arm assembly and he assured me it was just for the inserts. I think I said something along the lines of "You've got to be joking...No Thanks."

Went home and ordered TWO sets delivered for $42. Guess $11 shipping is not so far out of whack after all.

On a side note, I've never been to a stranger parts department at a dealership:
You have to walk back through the service area and talk to a secretary. Whereupon she calls back to Parts. "He'll be just a minute". (Evidently, a minute in dealership time is actually 10) When he arrives the computer right next to the secretary is the one used to look up your requested items. I've never been to a parts department where you didn't just walk right up to the counter.

A day of firsts...

Thanks for listening Dr. Crane.

Sincerely, Dave.
