Question Where to buy replacement rear quarter window trim?

I need a lower trim replacement piece, for the drivers side rear quarter window. Is there any place that carries these? Either in original aluminum or plastic?


Thanks

bump for options----
I asked one of the Big 3 for window trim and they "no longer" carried it..... too much damage in shipping, etc.

If the big three don't carry it, you have two options - depending on what's wrong with the old one:

1. If the old one is just faded but not bent, warped, or broken, you might want to look into the Jager Engineering overlay kit - it saves you from a lot of pain and suffering that you'd go through when replacing the original trim piece.

2. If your old trim piece is damaged to the point that it must be replaced, you can ask your local Porsche dismantler or Porsche dealer for a replacement.

If it isn't damaged you can get them repowder coated, I'm in the process of a resto, I'm getting all of them redone, certainly smartens the car up.

the one that I need is bent up and torn, so it needs to be replaced.

Note that the new ones you get from the dealer are plastic, not aluminum. No powder coating possible on the new ones.
