I wonder if a split vacuum hose in the correct size could work?

He can't show you what he don't have.
Here is a crop of mine and it rims around the outside and the center two risers.

Where did you get yours? Do you have a part number?

1974-1978 Mustang II Reproduction Aluminum Window Louver Fits 74-78 Hatchback Model. Add the distinctive performance look to the rear window of your ride with a rear window louver from Classic Auto Reproductions.

The problem here is that these don't quite look right. But I can't seem to find any others.

Mine are original factory installed. I am really doubtful that part is being reproduced as not many cars came with them but I could be wrong. Might have to use what you can find and keep looking for something better.

I'd do some measuring and order something from McMaster-Carr as @85GTStangGuy shared. That's probably your best bet.
