I just bought the front flat seal and luggage seal from Bus depot.  The
luggage seal looks a lot like the regular pop top seal I bought from him
several weeks ago.  Here are some pictures of the flat seal.  I'll post
new pictures after I install it this weekend:

BTW: the pop top seal is excellent!  The hardest part is getting the old
one off.  Make sure you use a razor glass scraper to carefully remove the
old rubber if it sticks to the fiberglass.  You can see the new poptop
seal and old, rotten flat and luggage rack seal in this pic:
