Thanks bavbob, very helpful. I’ll try to make something by myself and I’ll ask those guys if they have some

thanks again
 
Search here, someone actually made one. If demand was higher, 3D printing would be in order.
 
This is what they look like. They could be printed or cast pretty easily. I agree that someone may have drawn them up or scanned them. I’m not sure. You can stick some cellophane on your door, and on the trim, then use epoxy clay to mold some. Trim the length accordingly when done, although you don't need to. These are more complex looking than they need to be with all the baffling and what not.. The trim screws to the end of the block, and the block screws to the fender on the side, through the recessed hole.

Elaborating on the epoxy putty approach. Honestly you probably don’t need the cellophane because you can pull the putty out before it sets.

Step 1: Mix your epoxy putty. The glitter infused putty is only available in Germany.

Step 2: Mash into cleaned trim. Make the edge flat against bottom of chrome.

Step 3: Apply trim and putty to cleaned fender (it will be gross under there.

Step 4. Remove Trim

Step 5: Extract Putty. Trim off ends as needed (see real block below:

Step 6: After curing, drill recess, and 3mm fender mount hole. Recess diameter should match your machine screw head size. 5/16 is a hair larger than original.
