T-bar replacement

I am looking for a new/used T-bar. Thats the bar that goes up the middle between the t-tops. This is where the weatherstripping attaches to. I think it is called a t bar.

Any help will be appreciated.
thanks

I found one at the junkyard, and it was only $10! I saw one on ebay the other night for over $50. Try a junkyard.

I pulled mine off last night and I think its salvageable. The edges on the top piece are kind of rusted, but it is still structurally sound. Nothing a crap load of weatherstripping cement and some new weatherstripping wont fix!
It was actually two pieces. They are spot welded together, but it didnt take much to get them apart. Because they are only spotwelded together, water was just setting in between them and causing it to rust from the inside out. I am wirebrushing them both down to the bare metal, treating and painting them, and cementing them together with some weatherstripping cement. that should take care of them rusting ever again.
