Does anyone know if there is a McMaster-Carr or similar alternative to this?

I actually just ordered some rubber from McMaster. I will have it installed this weekend to test fitment. I spent a while measuring the dimensions on the original part. While this doesn't look stock, I believe it was the best choice.

There was an alternative one as well.

I will report back soon. Cost is about $30 for 10 feet. You could to two cars with that much.

We machined a die for this and extruded nearly 1000 feet. 10.00 per side

Well, I guess I'll be calling you if my solution doesn't work out. Is this on your web store yet?

I have the buffer strips from Josh/DPI, it was part of the door gasket kit. Much better than the crap old ones I replaced, you have to cut the notches in them where the struts go etc but it's painless and looks great once finished.

I opted not to precut these as variations on the mounting points and panel contour at the top are common. Comes with razor blades for install.

If anybody is interested, this is what I came up with:

45569

45568

The fitment is really good. A different look for sure. It's cheaper than NOS, but Josh has a better price on his original style pieces.

Is this offered on the web site? I can't find it anywhere.
