I've got access to a printer, but I'm not sure about the part you're talking about. Got a link?

I found some images with dimensions. I can try and design something in the next week or so and see about 3d printing them up.

UPDATE: Fast to ship, fit great and easy install... no more rattles (from the windows any way) and the windows stay locked (will still add a dowel rod for my my paranoid mind)

Looks like van-cafe got some reproduction guides too. Good if you plan to order stuff from them.

price is higher because one guy took initiative and recreates them in small batch process in his garage/basement/shop.
not a large order mass produced by a big plastics company for a world market car manufacturer.
be happy you don't have to carve them from plastic strips on your table saw keeping all 8 fingers with your 2 thumbs. you can order these while buying other incidentals for your 25+ yr old van through a specialized reseller who puts cookies in the shipping box.

I fully understand the cost and time involved in creating and manufacturing a repro part, I was just stating a fact about the cost increase!
I have a set that I bought years ago from Rocky Mountain Motorworks in my parts stash....

Why bring it up that you still have some and then complain about the cost increase? Let the dude fill a void that others are not able/willing too without griping about it.

Once again, I was just stating a fact.... I respect Rocky and the work he has put into manufacturing a product for our vehicles!
Flame on if you need to, I am way to chill and do not need charged conversation....
