Anybody has any idea where I could get a weather strip (rubber seal) like shown in the pictures below. They are off the rear window (where the glass fits into the frame) of my 1955 Caribbean.
Note there is an angled lip where the rubber leaps over the frame. I am aware of just normal weather stripping that the glass shops carry. I would like to know if that particular type of weather stripping is available.
Thanks Walter

Hey Walt,

If anybody had them, it would be Steele Rubber Products.

If Steele or Kanter doesn't have it, I doubt you will find one molded unless it's the same as one made for & listed under a common brand x car.

I can't see enough detail in your photo to tell how close they are but Metro Molded Rubberhttp://www.metrommp.com/ has some glass setting U channels by the foot. A couple have a lip on the sides. Might be flexible enough to make the bottom bend but doubt the sharp angle at top would be easy without some creativity. Possibly a neat miter joint with the seam cemented and exactly in the corner fairly well hidden would be possible.

Steele also shows a few possibilities in his section showing the selection of dense extrusions they sell by the foot.
