So I dug out my chunk of windlace that came off my truck and the stuff I got from Jim Carter and measured the hardness of both of them. Surprisingly, they were pretty close at about Shore A 65. The profile of the replacement stuff isn't anywhere near right, and I'm guessing there will be a gap between the bulb and the door once installed. I noticed that there was a bevel cut on the piece of the old stuff (visible on the far end in the profile comparison pic), I'm assuming to make it a little easier to install.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
