Default Roof Channel "Blow Out Clip"

Hi everyone. I'm wondering who sells or even may restore the 4 blow out clips that are found riveted to the roof channel trim. I recently purchased a complete set from Rick's First generation. When I got them in the mail last week I had a good laugh. Although correct in color and style, the hard plastic outer cover (which mine chipped and deteriorated) were made or dipped in some crappy soft black rubber. Any one replace them recently. If so where can I purchase a set.

I bought mine from Ricks, and they were just like the originals. Maybe they changed vendors.

I have taken many of them and glass beaded them and re coated and then dipped them in plastic handle coating, they turn out nice if you take your time.

Thanks guys. Ricks clips definetly were not close to original. They were out of stock for a long time so that might account for the changes. I will try and redipped the originals. I was thinking that it might be a viable alternative.

Thanks for the help.
