Theres plenty to choose from at aliexpress also.
Just looked for some today and the price was ~half the genuine ones including shipping, taxes etc to my location.
Came across this one today, A pillar Covers for $108, cant be absolutely sure of the quality but then again the quality of the OEM is not something that the poets of the ages are going to be putting in sonnets

anyone tried the aliexpress ones yet?
I am yet to cross the A pillar cover bridge, but am aware that they are in need of replacing if replacing the windscreen.
Is it just the plastic tabs that break off, during removal, that necessitates replacement of the whole thing? Or is it more catastrophic than that?
Wouldn't a couple of blobs of silly can't fix them back in place?
If you pop the 3 x clips you can see as you open the door that are hidden by the door window frame you shouldn't have any issue re using. Matt black fibreglass ones look better and are more robust by a fair margin but don't need them. Cheers
I have a loose C pillar cover. I had to tape it down to stop it from rattling. I suppose they have similar clips to the A pillar.

Arent the D pillar trims on with a bolt and s stud, not clips like the a pillar...
Discovery Rear Door D Pillar Trim Right DDG100381
What the official C pillar as Land Rover states that is D pillar..
I have one loose from the bottom, darn snow melts and ice builds up between the window frame and the cover -> pulled it right off the bottom connection one day..
yeah, the C pillar uses nuts screwed onto studs on the trim pieces.
Mighty awkward to get too, as the interior trim needs to be removed.
There are three of them, and IIRC the bottom one is a bit of a pain to get back onto the stud, and easily lost down into the rabbit hole if not careful.
What can happen why the trims come loose is the plastic where the stud is held on the backside of the trim breaks off, so the nut and stud are held fast onto the body but the trim is loosey goosey.
Over time the other two studs end up breaking off.
