hey guys I'm finishing up my 89 GT and Im having trouble finding a sunroof part.

its the rubber strip that is against the glass IN the metal frame. Mine has dried out and shrunk so it is pulling out all around the frame,

Ive tried the local glass companies and scoured the interwebs, ebay, and amazon with no luck. I dont know what its called, maybe im just not searching the right thing, or maybe its not something available.

so if its not something i can get, does anyone know if its structural in anyway for the thin metal frame or can i just run some black rtv or caulking in there and call it good?

here are a few pics of what im looking for and a 1st grade quality illustration of where it sits(the backward C is the metal frame, blue is the glass, and black is what im in need of.
Thanks!

Is this a Stock or aftermarket sunroof?

The closest I've found is a glass kerf seal...but it's more of a dotted i shape than this flat on one 1 side

I’m having trouble referencing where that is in a factory roof. Do you have pics of where it sits?

I will take them tomorrow morning, but if the glass is in the roof...looking up, there would be the the bottom of metal frame surround, then this piece, then the glass, then the top of the metal frame.

I see now.

I wasn’t even aware this peice could be removed. It almost looks sandwiched between the frame of the sunroof.


Still, it does look like a shape I’ve seen before

This is the kit you need. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/fcd-kf4023 I bought it for my 93 and works like a charm. It includes the weatherstripping that goes around the glass as well as the one that goes on the body.

No I'm not looking for the weather strip.
It's already been found by @Mustang5L5

Got the P seal in from McMaster Carr it's pretty close.(likely the closest available)
Just a little thin on the leg, may need a bit of adhesive to stay put.
