Drip rail

Drip rail
By drip rail I mean the chrome piece that goes above the doors on the edge of the roof. I am specifically talking about the rubber/plastic piece that goes inside that chrome strip. This rubber/plastic piece is what actually slides inside a channel on the chrome and snaps to the car to keep the chrome in place.
Here is my issue:
The rubber/plastic has dry rotted and pieces of it have somehow broken out and disappeared over time. The problem is that the drip rail drips! I can't find anywhere to buy a new rubber/plastic piece. If I had a new rubber/plastic piece, I would slide it into the chrome piece and pop it back onto the car. No rust issues, just dry rot and brittle plastic.
Does anyone have any advice? Thank you.

Body shop, check with a body shop. Most are pretty friendly about doling out advice and while your there, I'd ask for a quote to put it in, just to see if you think its worth the money. You could check with a glass company also, they tend to be higher priced, but if they have and you need it, welllll.....
