I went to Lowe's & their selection was very thin. Same with Home Depot & Ace. Thanks, Joe

I know your trying to help. but I wouldn't use that its open-cell so it will absorb water. you want closed-cell

EVERY 1st gen I have taken apart has had a narrow foam strip about half as wide as the weatherstrip channel and it is kind of "goooo-ey".

My research indicates the original is a polyurethane impregnated foam seal... I have seen NOS pieces for sale in the past and it looks nearly identical to the set up I have used in restorations and is shown below.

I used a open cell foam and then took a paint brush and coated polyurethane sealer into it then applied. It seals well with no wind leakage.
FWIW 2nd gens used a black foam the width of the trim much like shown above.

My LA built 68 had that. My Norwood car had different. Maybe they had a couple of different suppliers...Joe
