Convertible Top question

Hi so I'm going to attempt to install a new top in the next few day and notice I'm missing I believe it's called the side staypad. I wanted to know where I could buy them or has anybody made them and installed them.
It's the letter J in the picture

Just so there is no confusion. The link I posted is NOT to my TDS web site. I've been a thirdgen hobbyist far longer than a retailer of thirdgen aftermarket parts. I'm just sharing a resource that the OP requested.

Re: Convertible Top question

Thanks guys.
