Bill, I had the same problem as you - I don't think anybody
manufactures them. I ended up piecing mine together with glue and filler
then spraying them. The problem is that the clips that hold them in are not
reliable and I suspect most fell off as soon as the car left the showroom!!
I use heavy duty double sided tape to hold them in place as well as the
clips. As for a making your own, I think I would use 1/2 round wooden trim
with a matt black finish - Good Luck
