Looking for used sill cover trim strips.
Looking to buy the sill cover trim strips for an S4...
9285592890570B Cover Strip(DRIVER SIDE)
9285592900570B Cover Strip (PASSENGER SIDE)
Here's a link showing how the strip must be removed to get access to the sill cover screws
It presses into an aluminum rail that mates to the body of the car, and hides the screw-heads for the plastic sill cover. The part is on all 1987+ Porsche 928 models. The reason it must be slid off the aluminum rail is that if it's pulled off, the part that's pressed into the aluminum strip will tear away and the part will be worthless. When salvaging a car, they are typically destroyed because they're seen as a 'throwaway' part, since people don't realise they are actually $50 each new. Really upset I damaged mine before looking for replacements.
Can anyone help me out? I've been having trouble sourcing from dismantlers.

As someone who buys ALL THINGS from 928sRus (supporting a local business and Rennlist sponsor), these trim parts aren't critical in any way, so I'm holding out for someone parting out an S4 instead of buying new. If anyone can assist, it's appreciated.
