If the material is vinyl, you may be able to buy it at an upholstery
shop. There is one near here that stocks many different colors of
vinyl. Black is easy. If your original is not heat sealed, then it
should be easy to make a duplicate out of masonite and glue (3M Spray
Trim Adhesive) the vinyl to the face of the masonite. i would drill
whatever mounting holes you need in the masonite first.
