Weatherstripping help

I found the door weather stripping and the inner and outer window scrapers but i cant for the life of me find the roof rail gaskets. Im looking on rockauto and i want the fairchild brand. I dont really want to mix and match brands. I also cant find the hatch seal.

Fairchild doesn't make them. You can buy a different brand for the roof and hatch. You won't have any issues. I used 4 different brands of weatherstrip.
