Default Roof Seals for Moonroof

Looking for recommendations for roof (sunroof/moomroof) seals for my early 1985 944. My understanding you can not use the seals that are for the typical solid roofs. Thanks in advance.

See above.
Or, to save money, source a used one. I got a used one from a parts yard a few years ago and it hasn't leaked a drop since. I replaced the sunroof seal on the sunroof itself but not the roof seal.

I have already checked with 944only and their seals do not work on the glass roofs (Saratoga tops). I have been in contact with Kyle at 944only and he gave me a great lead and that is a company that is making the Saratoga tops again. The company is Pilkington, I just need to contact them now and see if they make seals.

Hi, if you find a solution let me know as my Saratoga roof, the original version also would need a new seal.

Well I did reach out to Pilkington regarding the seal and they do not have a seal replacement, they only make the unit as a whole. Which guess means if you want a seal you need to buy the glass also.

It must have a solution as I am sure, that the seal around the roof has not been developed only for this roof...

Ok I made some research and this is what I have found:
"The ONLY seal that works because it is the same as the original is #321 877 209A VW seal for the jetta of the same time.
