Replace 74-78 Chrysler/Imperial Roof Rail Weatherstrip

Does anyone know a place to buy replacement roof rail weatherstripping (the one that is attached to the body that the window seals against) for the 74-78 New Yorker or Imperial? If not, does anyone know how to fabricate a replacement? Mine are starting to dry up and crumble away.

No one repops them, NOS are unobtanium, and finding a set from a salvage yard that is in good condition is very hard. Even Murray Park, the C-body Mecca for slavage cars will tell you he doesn't have a decent one out in his yard.

A 1/2 decent work-a-round to the problem has been done by a Kip, amember of:

So far, it's the only solution that we have come up with.
And many have tried.
We've been trying to get them made for years but nobody's interested.

As I replied to you on C Body Dry Dock:

Thanks for the response, but the link doesn't take me to a specific thread, just to the Yahoo New Yorker Online mailing list. I tried to search for the thread, but no luck. Can you link to it or copy and paste the relevant information into this post?

Thanks.

That's what I hate about %$#$ Yahoo Groups.
Here's a link to Kip's pictures.

After looking at the pics, ask any question you have in the Group and Kip will bring you up to speed.
