FYI. Max & Kanter point to one source. That source is the one with the quality issue. They currently don't have any and apparently won't for some time. Other than that, I've come up empty. So this also helps flush out info - the story. Remember I'm a fish'n fool, and you have to lure 'em in sometimes. It's a good exercise anyway. With CNC machine and a set of drawings it shouldn't be a big exercise to make a mold for urethane rubber and the sheet metal is fairly simple. Can either make two piece and glue or mold onto steel like original but that's more difficult as you have to use the right compound/treatments to get adhesion. But there's custom people out there doing it looking for jobs. The clips may have to be re-engineered, but I already got that one figured. If I can get enough count, I might be able to convince a manufacturer. I'm not looking to go into business, per se. I already had enough of that. Now we know why GM uses sheet metal screws and aluminum.
