I'm asking several forums about this for my 1960 M-B.

Are there suppliers of replacement rubber (foam) weather stripping? Such as the seal between the trunk lid and body.

I've found a specific (and very pricey) retailer in Germany for the car itself. But I wondered if there are "generic" seal manufacturers in the USA, where I can send the specs and see if they have the material.

Here's a sample of what I need to replace (about 16 linear feet):

MacGregor in Canada might be able to help. He has a lot of stuff.
 
Thanks gents. I've contacted all three. Also McMasters.

Moss, TRF, VB provide seals. I wonder where they get theirs?

Here's another possible source... I've purchased from them in the past and they are good to deal with.
While they may not have what you are looking for, they may point you in the right direction. In any case it's a good source to have:

Have you tried J. C. Witney? The have a wide source of weather stripping for older cars, and have the drawings to help you find something close to what you need.
 
Alan Fisher has a roll of what he believes is very close. Try him as frogeye@cox.net

Tom, Sorry to jump in here this late but, I think Moss gets their door seals from MacGregger. I bought a set from them a couple years ago and they were the nearest perfect match to the originals I could find. I met MacGregger and he's one nice fellow, very dedicated to the originality look and quality in his products.
What ever you do, DO NOT buy door seals from Vic Brit! They are the biggest piece of crap on the market! JC Whitney is just as bad! Really junk! JMHO. PJ
