Question Weather stripping supplier

I would like to locate a supplier of weather stripping that is similar in size & shape to the "D" shaped foam that Finishline supplies.
Except I would like it to be hollow & rubber, the finishline material does not compress enough for my fit.
Any suitable samples I have found to date are all manufactured for OEM & come shaped for specific applications. I would like it in straight lenghts.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Craig

Craig,

I can't remember where I got mine but when I built my Cobra I had the same problem and I got some that was on a bulk roller at one of the Auto Supply houses around here. They had 3 sizes I believe it was and gave me a foot or so of each to bring home and try to see which size worked best. I then went back and just bought it by the foot. And it was hollow and rubber. I had to get glue to stick it on as it never had any sticky side, but I had it on there since 1996 and my Cousin tells me it is still just like new. I used it around the trunk lid and doors.

Ron

Thanks everyone for your help.
NOR CAL AL, your link has led me too a Canadian distributor about 1/2 hour drive from me. I think I will be able to find what I need there.

Again Thanks everyone

Craig
