Cost $160 pair. Cough, choke!! I need those too, as well as the rest of the rubber! I might have to see if I can make some....

I want to make some as well, I managed to save the original metal piece and from the steele catalog it looks like I could cut one from a strip of sheet rubber but I am not sure of the shape, and dimensions.
Any ideas? For rest of the seal, I used a 3M #8001 from Kragen. It was a little fat but after a few months it as settled in and is working OK.

Can't help on the dimensions, as mine's only the steel backing now. I would think that a piece of rubber weather stripping could be cut and fitted to the steel backing with no problem. Even if it lasts only a couple of years, it would still be worth it to me to spend $5 every couple of years than $160 every 5 or 10.

Thanks for the replys guys! Well I guess I'm going to be making some in the future. I still have the metal strips but the rubber has parted ways on both cars. $160 bucks..... sheesh

I was thinking about a 5/8" foam "camper top seal" glued to the metal strip. I am guessing this to be the approximate width and thickness.
