Default 1972 convertible outer window seal replacement

Looking for information regarding replacing the left/driver's outer window seal...the one that "wipes" the window as it goes up/down.
Any info on who sells a replacement appreciated!

Are you looking for NCRS or just replacements?
Usually they are sold in pair (left / right)
They are a PIA to change as the window is half in the way
Window Felts

Felts with the trim piece

On a C3, other than the air filter, what isn't!

For me changing the felt was a pia, but getting the window to fit well was a major PIA. The new felt puts just a little more pressure against the glass making it difficult to get the glass far enough outboard when the window is all the way up. Moving the the door up helped a little. Now the window will close, but I have to push out on it when it gets to the top.
