    Who did you call? They are all commonly reproduced parts. Did you try Larry's or Thunderbird Headquarters since you are in CA. You can also try the Birds Nest. They should all have them. You can also try Carl Heller (partsetal). He usually has all the weatherstripping in stock.

      I used the weatherstripping from Dennis Carpenter for my '61 Ford F100. They have made the doors like new and I'm very happy with them. They also carry the Tbird weatherstripping which they make here in the US.

        clarification

        If you are talking about the rubber that goes around the glass itself and holds it into the frame you are correct it is unavailable. In redoing my vent windows I had new glass cut and the glass shop put them back in the frames using black silicone. They put enough in to get an even squeeze all around and they trimmed after it set up. Grant

          The stuff that holds the glass in the stainless frames is called glass-setting tape or something like that.

          Auto glass shops will have all sorts of big rolls of it; in various thicknesses. I had a local shop owner set my new side glass in the frames. It only took him a few minutes, and he did it for free cuz he was just tickled to not be working on Camry's and Tauruses for a few minutes that day.
