If those are the combination latch/handle, one can get them from Diamond Seaglaze. And they aren't cheap.
However, let me point out our experience with these handles on Journey On. They're held on via double sided tape. They fly off with great regularity and I've never found out how to make them stick. I've tried different tape, glass to metal epoyy and even drilling a hole through the glass. The last was a disaster, since the glass is tempered.
We finally learned how to live without handles. Just make sure the track is well lubricated with silicone spray. No, no-one has broken in yet.
And if you need to replace a window, get laminated glass, much cheaper.

On my '08 I've had one side come off (kerplunk!). I got a new one (and a spare) from Diamond Seaglaze and put it on according to the instructions. It started coming off again pretty soon after. Rather than wait for another kerplunk, I took it off and reattached it with 3M 5200. Seems to be holding so far, but I try to minimize the strain on it whenever I can.
The other side is still securely attached from the original installation.

I have had success keeping them in place with epoxy. Cleaned any of the tape and other adhesives off the glass and metal. Tried rear view mirror windshield adhesive, and did not work.
