Window welting/glazing rubber

[old islander]

Heres one for all you oldtimers like me that love our starcraft islanders. I'm restoring a 77 221 right now and I need the window rubber for the front/side cabin windows. I have been to a few hundred web sites and every glass shop in 50 miles. This is the gray rubber window welting used on the islanders, and every storm door and storm window made in the 70's. I cant find the stuff...PLEASE help if you know where I can find it or what you did to replace it if you ever did an old 70's boat. Thanks fellow boaters, Jeff.

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,.... On my ole '74 221, I bedded the windows in 4200 calkin'...

It's a 2 piece frame, put 1 in, calkin', set the window, calkin' on the outer frame, 'n smooze it together, 'n screw it...

Came out pretty good,... water tight anyways....
