Walloth has them. I improved them by putting the round pin out, tapping an m6 thread in the clips and used a stainless steel m6 bolt. It now allows for easy removal.

Best to make your own. Take a look in the DIY section (DIY - Installing Rocker Covers and Trim Strips) Courtesy of HB Chris.

The plastic bits are available but a PIA to use as they do not stick out far enough to catch the trim strip. You can put a nylon washer or rubber o-ring behind each to help it stick out enough to actually work. There is a post somewhere on these also.

Well the plastic actually do work nicely if you tap an m6 thread in them. You can simply push them in the trim alu+rubber one by one with a thumb.
Once they are pushed in, you can aligng them with the holes in the steel panel and then simply pull them tight onto the steel sill panel by fastening the bolts, inserted from behind.

Thanks Bavbob for the area to check out.

I'll use HBChris' idea and make some studs. Great idea, thanks Chris.

Thanks to HBChris’ idea, I made 10 rinky dink studs to hold the rocker trim in place.

4 new are pictured along the rusty original on top.

Again, thanks Chris.

Geeze no moss will ever grow on you, that was quick...............and satisfying I bet.

I would use a dab of 3M strip caulk around each to seal the hole in the rocker cover so no H2O can get in.
