What Sources for Rubber A-pillar/ Post Seals Do Cutlass And Vista Cruisers Use?

These are the rubber seals between the leading edge of the front doors and the a-pillar rain gutter piece. The seal is glued to the interior a-post sheet metal cover and sandwiched between the cover and the a-pillar.

I looked at Fusick, Restoration Small Parts and Metro Molded Rubber, but couldn't find any. What do you use? Is there anything by the foot?

Thanks, Tom

Do you want just the rubber? I have a set, found the set but only one has the rubber on it. I probably still have the other, but would have to see if I can find. 442 Harv

Thanks guys, but I would prefer new since mine are ok, but slightly hardened and cracked. Harv, do you mean you have a set including the sheet metal covers they're glued to? I really only need the rubbers. Are yours new or very good? I'd be surprised if such a fairly simple rubber profile isn't available somewhere by the foot...

Thanks, Tom

Mine are used, I have both the rubber and metal pieces. One of the rubber came off so needs to be re glued on.

Thanks Harv

Judging by my pictures would you say yours are better than mine and worth you packing and shipping and me buying, etc?

If yours are not cracked or tore, than they are probably about the same shape as mine.

Mine are cracked and maybe a little bit torn. If I can't find new rubber I'll talk to you about your used ones. Thanks for looking into it and of course to Scott too...
