Ahh we were not. Now we are. Those are being made again as well. I
call those rain gutter deco strips. Not really sure the exact name but
I know what you mean now. They come is silver/chrome plastic on early
vans and black for the later models.

Since we were on the subject of weather strips, I thought you meant
the rubber strip which has metal rib intended to be bolted with 8mm
screws near the door hinge to reduce wind noise.

I have seen both for sale. I'm pretty sure it was at GoWesty but
likely at Van Cafe, Bus Depot and possibly with  other regular
listvendors. Anytime a difficult part becomes available via the
secondary wholesale market such through Vanagonparts.com, it doesn't
take long for most of the retailers start carrying the part. I don't
mean to exclude other sources. I'm just naming those that are coming
to mind at the moment.
