Since these are almost impossible to come by & not knowing what Scott's Rubber ones looked like I figured out a way to make my own.

These are a product called Trim Seal by Trimlok Co. -

what you see is the 3/4" bulb with a 5/8" laytex rubber tube in it for support to round out the tube.The problem with the original TrimSeal w/o the tubing in it- its not rigid enough for the glass to seal against. I first tried 5/8" weatherstrip backer rod which fit perfectly I just couldn't pull it thru w/o it breaking, the rubber tube worked great.

I had to heat gun the corners a bit to get it to turn the lower 160ish degree turn but it seems to work, I guess at speed will tell more but I'm confident it'll seal properly as its pretty snug & compressed with the glass closed.






heres who I bought it from in Tukwila




And the laytex tubing is this product, I didin't buyt it from them but its much cheaper then where I did, got mine a McClendons in Woodinville. Only place I could find 5/8" in stock, realistically it would of been cheaper to buy the 50' roll.

just thought I'd share this, maybe someones got another approach to this problem.

If you dont want a ghetto / rat fix (goobers of silicone & peel & stick weather striping) to this problem it'll cost you about $75 for the materials if bought where i did.

Nice work. I tried to do it before and the seal I used was good quality and it seals ok bit i could not make the tight 160 degree bend in it. The seal split at that point and now it's got silicon on the inside of the car. You have done well

looks good. I did this with a very similar pinch weld rubber from Clark rubber here in Aus. I also used the left over strip on the fire wall enigine bay-againstbonnet-part.

thats a good idea, i managed to save the original rubber strip seal but maybe this is better.

lets see if i can get a pic of the inside turn that I heat gunned....well I dont have one of the lower corner but this shows the 2 90's & I dont think I even put heat to these, just a wooden dowel & few taps w/a hammer
