Need help identifying a part for convertible

I noticed my 2001 has a cracked trim piece at the top of the door jamb. Its the black trim piece that pops up when you put the top up. Can someone tell me if this is available or will I need to figure out a way to repair it? Thanks!

View of the top where I noticed it was split.

This is the backside when it is open.

I think it is called the Upper Lock Pillar Trim. Passenger side may be available. Driver side is discontinued.

The spring broke on drivers side. Bought a used trim panel from vettenuts (can't replace just the lid). Have to remove the seat belt bolt to change the panel

The 8 digit casting number maybe a part number or dealer parts person maybe able to cross reference a part number and if its available or sitting on someone's shelf.
