They are actually just called,,, seal strips and are available from a dealership. I don't know about installing them but b 4 too long I will,, because mine got to the point of having to trim the rubber straight to get the door shut w/o the seal getting caught in the glass when shutting the door.

P/N's are

82-91R - 1016 5498
82-91L - 1019 8353
92R - 1019 8352
92L - 1019 8353

(I don't know why the 1st # is so different,, it's like that for camaros too)

My rubber seal started coming off on the drivers side Ttop, a few years back. I just put some epoxy in the crack, pushed the rubber back up in there real good, and taped it tight temporarily till' the glue dried. I haven't had a problem with it since. Classic industries has new ones, though.
