does anyone sell these for 70 - 81 firebirds ?

attached is a picture of them but for the 67 - 69 years through classic industries.

i'd like to update since no one has posted yet, it isn't really necessary to buy new ones if i could replace these metal things on them. i'm guessing it's a retaining clip for the window ? ? and its riveted in. is it replaceable ? b/c my tracks are good, the clips are just pitted and rusty.

Those are called blowout clips. Since the door windows are large, unframed glass, they can tend to tip out at the top at highway speeds, due to air pressure. So, the blow-out clips help hold the glass in at the top. The blowout clips are metal tabs coated with black plastic, but the plastic deteriorates over the years, leaving a rusty metal tab. There hasn't been replacement blow-out clips for years. Now, there are some offered by S&S Classics at a very reasonable price. I've already bought a couple of pairs. They don't look exactly like originals, but look to be close enough. Here's the link to them: http://www.sandsclassics.com/cgi/dis...um=CP-71-3439B

Here is a pair of originals if "close enough" is not acceptable:
