Default Looking for source for weather stripping

Hi all,
Sorry to be so clueless but I need to replace the weather stripping on my Cobra.
I like the type of product that Finish Line sells, but I would like to purchase the type that has it's own adhesive backing.
If anyone has a source and a part number I would be grateful.

Roger


...... I found the answer to my own question......

Check out McMaster Carr. They have all kind and shapes in their catalogue. 1/4" and 3/8" stip, adhesive backed, half round is what I found most effective.

It's my experience that self-adhesive weatherstrip tends to "walk" over time. We went to contact cement to make a more "fixed" joint.

I agree McMaster-Carr is the place to go. Use 3M Weatherstrip adhesive (black), and use an incredibly thin line of it under the weatherstripping or it will seep out and it's a bear to clean. Apply about 4" at a time, let it tack, and apply the weatherstrip. Go slowly and don't stretch the rubber. If you do need to clean a couple of spots, use 3M Adhesive Remover.
