Something that simple, huh...?
ebay, wreckers, JC Whitney, auto glass repair/replacement shop or dealer.

Already tried those..... the only place I found them was online on a Nissan parts website but they are extremely expensive.... 300$ +.

Any ideas?

Only other place that I didn't suggest is a body shop. If they don't supply ask where they get it from. I guess your last resort is the dealership.

I have another suggestion, but I don't think you're going to like it. If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, take them out, sand and repaint.

Yeah, the problem is that they're just too rusted to do a good job... I need to replace them.... I guess I'm gona have to pay the big bucks anyway....

Please any practical suggestions?? I have both trims rusted and they are $140 each + T???

That trim is rubber with a little metal in it. For some reason the rubber is not holding the water from reaching that metal piece inside it. Thats when it starts rusting from inside and becoming loose?

Any supplier (not the dealer) who may carry it in a decent price?

thx
