Well, as promised, here you are. I had these as spares, so they didnt cost a dime out of pocket. pictures of the seal and installed on the door from inside and outside with the window up. what is not shown is the seal with the window down. with the window down, the seal expands and fills the gap between it and the outer scraper.
Sometimes I amaze myself.

Except for the felt wiper, that looks like a common vinyl or HPDM bulb molding. Great find and application!

Here are a couple pics. The stuff I used on required me to leave off the lower trim piece, but the new stripping is well finished, so that wasn't a problem. The only problem is that the lower trim piece includes part of the upward curve, so I'll have to cut a trim piece down to just that curve to get it to fit. In the meantime, it's not leaking.

That looks a lot like what I used, except the profile on the scraper was square instead of round. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything laying around, so I took some measurements and looked at the profile of what came off, and then searched online to find something suitable.

The $0.64 question: Do they keep the water out? I'm sure the question is not prompted by the 5" of rain predicted here tomorrow.

Sorry, people. I misinformed you and hope you didnt go out to but 1994 Seville weather seals. I have had several Sevilles and the seals I illustrated came from my 1989..... SORRY.

Correction, they are 1989 Seville seals. I have had several Sevilles and forgot which they actually came from.

I think the Cadillac seals are an improvement. The genuine wiper sels leave a depression where gunk can accumulate.
