I tried to get the plastic a couple of years ago, and was told it was NO
Longer Available (NLA). I simply cut some vinyl based on the plastic I
removed and used trim adheasive to hold it in place.
It doesn't look quite original, and the original was truly a hard plastic,
but the vinyl doesn't look bad.
