Mk1 Door repair, rain channel

[austinseven7]

Hi,
Would anyone know if you can buy a replacement horizontal channel that sits under the chrome sliding window trim.
It looks like part of the door structure, but wonder if anyone has reproduced this part as a repair panel. Has holes that drains water into a channel then leads water out the end of the door.
Austin Seven early 1960. Cheers

My car is later with the tubes that drain via the vertical tubes that exit the bottom of the door. I didn't want to completely replace the ones in my car's doors since the rust perforations were not too terrible. Instead I sandblasted, acid washed, and applied epoxy filler followed by POR-15. That sealed all the holes and seems to be holding up well after a decade. However, my car only sees rain and water a few times a year.
