Plates / covers that go over the edge of carpeting and sills in blazer doors

what are they called, and where could I get some decent quality SOLID (as opposed to think weak beer can aluminum) new ones. There is one that covers the doorway bottom and a curved one that goes up the back of the door. Any ideas for sources?

They are called "door sill plates" and they are made from thin aluminum. It seems at some point they made some plastic ones (late 80's) but don't quote me on that.

I see. So the beaten up skinny flimsy aluminum ones I took off are actually likely to be the originals instead of the after market cheapos that I assumed they were.
