Unhappy Door pillar molding broke off while driving

Hi all,
the driver side door external B pillar (I think that's what it's called?) fell off while driving on the highway this morning. At first, i thought a bird hit the window, but when we pulled over, the pillar was gone. Thank goodness there were no other vehicles behind me. There was also a bit of scuffing on the rear driver side windows due to this.
Anyone know where i can find a replacement part online? I'm gonna pass by the dealer as well this week.
Our 2015 RT just turned 2 this year, i'd imagine this would not be covered by warranty.
Man, so sh1tty, the van looks awful without it

PS: Here's the part:

Was at the dealer the other day and they quotes $110 CAD for the part (applique) and $40 labour

I'll try to find a better deal online and the junker if needed.

They're stick on with a couple clips integral to them. There is a forward and a rearward. Don't get them mixed up when shopping. If you're under 36K on a 2015, they should be covered.
