On my Dakota there are two interior plastic parts that are roughly a half-tube that separate the windshield from the side windows. Mine are warped and cracked and so I am looking for new ones. I think they might be #37 (79171-13) and #32 (79171-14) on page 1C9 of the parts catalog.

On the outside edge of these, right next to the windshield glass is a rubber sleeve that covers the plastic edge. I can't seem to find that listed.

Any tips on replacing these? I guess they all come in white and need to be painted. Do they need to be trimmed or drilled?

My interior was re-done in 2010 before I owned the plane and I am assuming they just painted these and they are original to 1979 and just brittle. It cracked while I was putting in a sunshade on the Left #1 window and was pressing it a bit to get it placed correctly.
