I just bought the 2 rubber boots for my car from Eagers Mazda as I go past twice a day so its very handy.
They said they gave me the dealer price. Paid $72.55 all up for both. Does this sound about right? Thanks.

Talcum powder works well.

$63 a year ago with 10% club discount. Too late now, you've bought them. I wonder what "dealer price" means.
There are a few threads in this section explaining how to do it.

Thanks for the extra tips. The list price was $82. Grand Prix is more than 20km from my home and Eagers is about 2 min from my work.
I've filled out my form for the club and plan to do the Feb 5 run.

Mine are
NA01-64-481B for the big one
M513-17-480A for the small one
Funny that one 4 times as big as the other costs $10 less.
