Default Where to get the Rubber Trim for new CF A-pillars

I purchased a set of Mastergrade A-pillars only to find out that they don't come with the plastic trim pieces necessary to make a water tight seal against the roof and glass. When I went back to my car I found out that the OEM plastic trim pieces are in horrible shape and need to be replaced.

Any ideas (apart from buying new OEM A-Pillars) on where to get the plastic trim pieces needed to make it work?

Alternatives would also be considered but they must also provide a water tight seal on glass and roof.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

It does not appear to be available for purchase separately. But its a good website. Thanks for recommending it.

Scored a HOMERUN by contacting Turbo-Toys in Florida!!!

They have tons of spare Z parts.

Go to Turbo-toys.com and if you don't see what you want just call and speak to Jim. They have everything from engine cores to the exact rubber trim molding I needed.

I got the rubber molding trims shipped to my door for a SWEET Price. Keep in mind that in order to get these thru Nissan you have to buy the entire A-Pillar which is over $400 per side.
