Can someone please recommend a source for sill plates with the correct curvature. I read here that some of the after market sill plates are straight. Thanks.

Ok, here are photos of the problem. The original sill plate has a lip that curls under the edge of the floorpan; the replacement has an entirely different profile. The original sill plate is curved; the replacement is straight. The replacement is entirely unsatisfactory. Where do I get a sill plate that is a duplicate of the original sill plate?

So it looks like the confusion is NOT about the lengthwise curvature UP like so many mentioned, but it is the whole length curved UNDER outer lip that should be correct.
So does anyone have any new repro's that match THAT description?StudeRich
