Default Any machinists with the ability to make something for me? (img)

I'm having a hard time with the plastic pins that came with my wind deflector.
Today the deflector popped out of the grommet while driving.

Was wondering if anyone on this site has a lathe or some tool that could recreate this pin out of metal?
I need the insert the be about 1.25cm - 1.9cm longer and made out of metal.

I'm willing to pay for material, labor and shipping and any other costs involved.

If anyone's interested, I'll provide measurements.

Here's what I have:

Anthony, you can take the piece into just about any machine shop that is local to you and they will be able to do the work quite quickly and will not cost a fortune either.

I googled machine shops near me and came up empty.
