B-Pillars Ripped / Peeling

My B-Pillars are ripped and peeling on my 88 W126s. The vinyl is beyond repair and can't be re-glued. Does anyone know where I can purchase that vinyl material so that I can fix these? Thanks.

My vinyl is still there, right now, any glue to keep from flapping about?

There are a few glues you can use. I use DAP contact cement.
Make sure everything lines up correctly. Then coat both sides. Let them dry completely, then starting from the middle and working toward the sides (avoiding air bubbles) press the material together. No clamps or tape neccessary. Continue to press and rub the pieces together for a minute.

Unfortunately the existing vinyl is ripped so re-glueing it will not work. If anyone knows where I can purchase vinyl that matches the original that would be very helpful.
