Steve, I had a similar problem with mine.  I had one that was off and 
missing one of the clips that hold it on.  I looked high and low for the 
proper clip and never found one.  If you have the interior liner removed 
from the pillar you can just put 1/8" clips on them that are available 
from a few different places.  But I never found the ones that are like 
the original which would allow you to just push the trim piece on from 
the outside.  In 3-4 years of watching ebay I have never seen these 
chevrons listed either.  They're pretty rare pieces.
My solution for the one piece I had off was to use some double faced 
tape.  I have some really good stuff at work that is very thin, no 
substrate between the adhesive.  It has worked so far which is about 2 
years.  If you want to try and find some clips that can be attached from 
the inside try:   www.restorationspecialties.com  they have a large 
selection of trim clips.  If you want to try the tape route find a 
prosthetics shop.  They use the tape I mentioned.

Good Luck, Paul
