Default Bed Rail Cap

I guys, just wondering if there is a way to fix my bed rail cap or is beyond repair, I know there's some threads about fixing them but they're about de coloration and mine is beyond that. Been trying to find new or used ones in good shape but its mission impossible and don't wanna pocket 200 bucks for the set. Here's how it looks like

You might try a heat gun carefully to see what the results will be. I would have something heavy and flat ready to lay in place after the heat.
If that doesn't work, try this link:

$67 on Ebay

Ill try the heat gun, that's a good idea. I've seen those on ebay but it says it doesn't fit my truck. I have the 6.5 ft bed :s

You don't have anything to lose by seeing if you can get it back into shape with a heat gun. I'll bet you can get it better, but doubt it will ever be perfect again. What happened to it anyway.

Can't say I've seen that before. I agree with the heat gun method.
