'65 Interior molding

Does anyone know where to buy the seam molding that surrounds the rear window OR the molding that runs around the door?
(see photo)

I'm not even sure what it's called.
Is it basically the same for all GM A-body's?

Try the Oldsmobile page and the Rubber Trim page on https://www.vintagepartsource.com , good list of suppliers for rubber trim on both those pages , maybe one of them has that seal.

I found a few replacement moldings from some of the bigger companies, but couldn't find my color.
But I finally did find a color replacement...but it's not perfect.
It's made by Fairchild Automotive.

I figured it wasn't a bad price to take a chance on.
1. It has about 30% LESS width than original
2. It has these little ribs ever 1/4" or so that could be a little distracting (maybe for different year?)
3. The color is brilliant! It matches my seats and vinyl PERFECTLY...but it's much brighter than original.
(I'm not sure if they were originally this bright and just faded over 55 years? See pic.)

Conclusion: I think it's good for a driver if you don't have the originals.

I believe this is the same stuff Ames sells.
