Need help locating W/S Gasket :(

[North Beach]

I've been searching for days for replacement windshield gasket material for my 66 Starcraft with zero luck. Does anyone have any ideas who might carry a gasket in this profile? I really wanted black, but at this point I'd settle for any color available.

The best match you'll find is Taylor made Deck channel, #826500.
It goes between the windshield frame and the hull.

A friend of mine is bringing me a piece of that material to do a test fitting the first of the week. I'm just not sure it's gonna work. I was hoping someone had fought this fight and won already

I used the Taylor weather strip on my '63 Starcraft aluminum with a plexi windshield. I have a 1966 Holiday which has a metal framed windshield, I just used a foam gasket under the windshield frame with some Volkswagen fender beading along the edge for trim. It looked like it belonged when I was done.
The foam tape itself was all that was needed to seal the gap but the beading made it look like it belonged.

RF,
My windshield is gonna be the same as your Holiday. Got any pics of what you did? Thanks!
