77 window scrapers

I just recently bought a 77 vette and the doors are leaking. I believe the reason they are leaking is my outer window scrapers are completely shot, but I can't find replacement ones anywhere. Does anyone know where I can buy some?
Thanks,
Joseph

Be sure to get the original style with felt, not the rubber ones. The rubber ones tend to bind the window and make it hard to roll up.

The outer ones should be made of felt? I have only ever seen rubber ones for the outside on other cars. The only ones at Corvette Central appear to be rubber but they don't specify The material.

These have the felt looking surface, replacements have a smooth rubber surface

Thank you. I see what you are talking about now that is what is on my car currently. I just didn't realize they were felt.

I made the mistake of buying the cheaper replacements and have regretted it, the windows have trouble rolling up. There have been a few threads here on that subject, I believe DUB commented on it.
