I replaced my seals a couple of years ago with ones from Busdepot.
Not exactly like original, but look close enough, and there's
nothing to rust. Required just a little black RTV on the corners
where the perimeter seal butts against the wide flat top seal
(optional, but looks better), and that's it. Took me about 15
minutes, single-handed.
