70 Vista rubber between side and roof glass?
Does anyone know where to source a replacement for the rubber that goes between the side glass and the side roof glass? There is a chrome strip in the middle.

Good to know, I might have to go that route if I can't find new ones - thanks!

Are they handy? Would you be willing to post a photo so I know what they look like?

To expand on this question, does anyone know how to remove the metal trim piece that goes in between the side windows and the side roof glass?

IIrc, they are just pressed into the rubber between the side window & upper window? Maybe gently pry up on one end, a few inches from the end & see if it wants to come loose?

I found one rubber piece so far & I'm pretty sure I have more at my warehouse. No '68-'69 tail light lenses though.

I found the second rubber piece but will have to go to a different location to check on that trim piece between the glass. Give me another day or two.
