Don't think they are available from GM. Maybe part of assembly. Here's a link to what you need I think. http://www.top-downsolutions.com/pro...products_id=48

The guides were never available from GM as a replacement part. Which is why I stepped in to supply an aftermarket replacement version. Thanks GM!
