I'm looking for a source for the rubber that surrounds the small rear windows in the back barn doors of a 1938 panel. The windows are roughly rectangular in shape (slight arch on the upper side) and measure approximately 9 x 14 1/4". I've checked Jim Carter and Chevs of the 40s and haven't found anything. I checked Steele Rubber on line; they list a rear window rubber, but don't show a picture or give dimensions, so I'm not sure if it's the right one. A pair is pretty spendy--something like $70! I want to make sure this is correct.
I'm not sure what other years might have the same sized windows--certainly the 1937; but I'm not sure about the 30 or 40. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
