Forester fix step vinyl tread replacement

I have a 2016 Forester and the middle fixed step vinyl tread has split at the bull nose. No room to put screws in to hold it and glue down may be the only option besides replacing. But for safety reasons, I would like to replace it. I can’t seem to find it on Amazon or searching the net without having to buy a 3 lifetime supply of over 7. Any suggestions?

2018 FR 3011 DS stair tread

I have used black aluminum stair tread edging on the edge of the slide flooring, where I made an extension. It worked well.
If your entry stairs are the same as mine, the step is made of wood so you can screw into it.
Maybe this will work for you.

2018 FR 3011DS stair tread CORRECTION

In my previous post I said that my steps were made with the rubber tread over wood.
MY BAD
I was at the RV this morning and checked mine and they are metal covered with a rubber tread.
Sorry for the miss statement.

Thanks, just saw that at Home Depot. They also have one twice as wide whenb cut ib half fits exactly and I'd have a spare.
In the mean time, I used Liguid nails to secure the square nose to the metal step top. Seems to have adhered well.
