External door to glass weather seal

Afternoon all
Anyone know where I can get the door weather seal door to glass. All usual suppliers appear to be out of stock. This is the trim rubber that sits at the base of the door glass on top of the door panel. Thanks

the first one i done i used the stuff from PMN

the second one i done. i got a strip with the same shape from sealsdirect, took the metal out of the car, removed the old rubber from it (defitinly not using a torch. that would be very irresponsible) and glues the new rubber on it using evostick impact contact glue (other brands probably will work, but i have a specific affinity with that one from personal experience)

the hardest part of the job is removing the old strip. far harder than navigating the seals direct cataloge to find the correct (or suitable) replacement.

Thanks Tuga. Would prefer to find replacements and had a call today from a supplier who may have some shortly. I did find your YouTube video most helpful in removing the door card and window. Now need to get the parts and replace the missing/defective parts before it goes back together and then the other side to tackle. What a joy!

yes i understand.

the first time it set me back 80 quid. the second was 13... as i get more confortable with my skill and the car. i do things differently

has mentioned. the worst part of it is removing the old strip because when the screws rust in place.. its a awkawrd place. and a dremel ends up being essential (not optional)

also, the new strip i got the first time end up not aligning the holes perfectly, so my yellow car has more holes along that line than the green one.
