If anyone still has them it will probably be Kanter or Joel Ray (packards1) They were repro'd many years ago but IIRC from a discussion last year, I believe they are in very short supply if not gone by now. If there are still any expect the price will be high.
They are cemented on the metal plate which is held to the car by clips -- both press in and hook type. To remove that entire piece you have to get a flat bar under the mat portion next to the chrome or stainless trim by carpet -- not under the chrome but under the rubber and plate -- and gently start prying up. That side has the press in type. Once you get it up a little bit it will start to come easier. After the press in type are out there is a row of hook type clips on the outside edge which have to slide in toward the car interior -- not pull staight up.
Here is what the assy looks like. The press in types are in good shape but as you can see, some of the hook type clips are bent because someone tried to pry up from the pavement side.
