The tooling belongs to the OEM. Only a lazy supplier would not apply to the OEM to destroy the tooling 10 years after the end of production, per contract. The OEM has the option to make one final buy. Otherwise the OEM would be on the hook to manufacture one box of product even if an order for a single piece arrived at the OEM service parts department. Unfortunately, Kia would prefer if you just went out and purchased one of their new cars.

I was just sharing part availability updates with other users. I have found that FourGreen occasionally restocks items that were previously unavailable, albeit rare.

The only reason I commented was because many of the parts were extrusions.
I used to work for a tier 2 extrusion supplier. You would not believe how much waste is incurred, just on startup alone.
That is the main reason why they don't want to be bothered with service orders.

Maybe there is a "GreenSales" Kia warehouse somewhere in the world?
