Expert Reply:

You'll be able to use almost any replacement strip as they are almost always fit for a 3/8 inch channel.

I specifically recommend the Thule Replacement Channel Cover 59 inch, part # 852-5402-005 or the Rhino Rack Vortex 15-3/4, part # RRM626. These are vortex-patterned strips that will fit 3/8 inch channels and replace your existing damaged or cut strips.
