I've looked also and haven't found anything yet. Mine is so brittle it practically crumbles if you try to touch it.

I think you can buy it from Jc whitney. Its just a common L shaped seal.

Re: a-pillar pod weatherstripping?

Find one in good condition at a bone yard. Strip it from the pillar, reglue to yours. Once dry, liberally douse it with silicone to guard against its drying out and cracking. Worked well for me. You might check page 3 of the following link:
