On my '89 GTC the rubber seal on the outside of the back glass is coming apart. I want to replace it but the part is discontinued and I can find one anywhere. Do you guys have any idea on what I could do to replace it?

The only thing I can think of is to use a tube of silicone and then use something wet to shape it? Any ideas are welcome.

I would call around to some local glass shops and see if they have a listing, sometimes there is still an aftermarket part available.

Yep, tried that. :(

Is the seal GTC specific? I know they were the only ones with the pewter window moldings.

Yeah, they were the only ones to have quartz trim but the seal underneath should be the same. I don't know if they are all the same part but I wasn't able to locate the chrome trim either.

Id doubt I could get it off another car without destroying it.

Does anybody have any ideas? Like, is there a place I can have one made?

You can get the trim seals off, if you take your time. Save all the mounting clips you can, while you're at it. Just have to find cars that have been garaged, or from cooler areas where the plastic doesn't fall apart as fast.

4454580 is the filler that goes on the lower part of the rear window on a hardtop. Nobody has it on partsvoice.com
