Rear window weatherstrip - Alternatives?

[CO MJ]

Whatever adhesive my PO used to adhere the rear window also stuck quite well to the weather stripping and unfortunately removal resulted in complete destruction of the rubber. I'm not super keen on purchasing another 30+ year old piece of rubber from a donor and was wondering if anyone has come up with any other solution that looks pretty good. Molding from another truck that is available new, some generic weather stripping cut to shape, etc.

I’d ditch weatherstripping in favor of trim. Should be pretty easy to fab some aluminum or similar trim. That original rubber surrounding the rear window wasn’t really a seal. It was only successful in trapping some moisture between the glass an channel. Aftermarket rear windows do not use the rubber trim and instead use a metal frame that “trims” the glass opening.
