Default Soft Top part not found at the system at the dealership

I'm looking for a plastics part in the soft top tubes, that places them one on top of the other, when the top is on. This part is found above the door. It measures about 1" square, and fits between the two thin tubes that lay flat above the door.

The thing is that the part is missing, and not having it is making the tubes lay against each other and start to rust. I have a picture of the driver side part, since i'm only missing the passenger side one. And the part does not appear in the system at the dealership, so it is not an option to order it directly from them.

It is weird, since all other parts appear on the exploded view in the computer, but that part doesn't. Maybe it is sold as part on the frame.

Thanks in advance, any and all help would be useful.

Taking a shot from the parts catalog, there is one part that looks like a possibility. It's called a reinforcement, part number is 68032494AA, looks like it runs about $35, which seems high for the part you pictured, however anything is possible with Chrysler.
