Where to get a Correct Hatch Weatherstrip?
Does anyone make a weatherstrip for the hatch on our cars that is the correct profile? I got one from a prominent vendor here for Christmas and the profile is missing the outer "foot"/"Lip" that the OE Hatch has. The one that most restoration places seem to offer is just a super long trunk gasket, but the hatch gaskets are different.
Anyone else notice this?

That is what I got and it is the wrong profile. It is round on the top (the OE is square) and it has just two "legs" to hold on to the "trunk" lip the OE on has those two plus a deflector lip that goes on the outside.

Never mind,I see what your saying.you should get in touch with 1A Tony,he's a member here.It seems they don't have the variety of weather stripping they had a few years back when I got mine.
