Windshield Gaskets

Does anyone know where to get rubber windshield gaskets to trim where the leading edge of the wing meets the windshield? I have only found foam windshield sealants.

I used Aircraft spruce

with pn 05=00598 D rubber channel. Use some good contact cement to keep it in place on the root fairing.

That is what mine look like.

Thank you. I believe I currently have the E channel, but it's very hard and doesn't stay in place well. I'll get some of the D and E and see what works better. Thanks again.

Mine looked more like the E channel. The U section around the transparency and the leg of the P to the outside over the boot cowl. When it is new it is very soft and pliable, just make sure you don't stretch it as you put it on because it will slowly "creep" back shorter and leave gaps at the end.
