Steel rubber products are one of the big boys for rubber trim and seals automotively. Find their catalogue, hundreds of variations.

Brand? Manufacturer still in business? A sample profile to look thru the catalogue with?

Can't help if we don't know what you got?

"Reasonable $" doesn't enter into it. Either it is the correct extrusion or it isn't.

And if it is, pay the man what he asks.

Happy coaching!

I did see their products, at $180 per window, might as well order new ones.

We purchased full rolls of weather stripping from a wholesaler called Trim Lok. Same company McMaster Carr buys their weatherstripping from. When buying that stuff by the inch or foot from a retailer - it costs a fortune...

Tim glad to see the bus and you are doing good still. Did you ever find the bolt in the bell housing that PO claimed had fallen out?
Take care Dave Citrus Heights, now Roseville.
