    WTB - any of the side rubber gaskets (even if its bad/worn)

    I am looking for pieces of #7 and #8 for the passenger side. The ones I have are fine but just do NOT butt up against the other pieces and that causes a slight gap. I am just looking to fill in that gap and if lucky, source something that doesn't work as a full piece and is laying around unused .

    So, if you have #7 and or #8 for passenger side, even if worn/torn, I am interested.

    A trick from back in the day was to cut the seal open, insert some rubber tubing and then re-seal it with black silicone. The rubber tubing pushes outwards from inside the collapsed seal, thus allowing it to actually seal again.

    Another trick for these is to shim out the metal mounts for the seal. I can't speak for all of them, but mine had several shims installed from the factory.
