Watching an old episode of Car SOS last night. Hillman Imp restoration, Fuzz was emphatic about the windscreen seal being obsolete, but he mentioned he could get one made.

So, there must be someone out there.

Mentioned about keeping a piece to match the profile for matching.

I noticed that, and presumed he wanted Tim to be careful about keeping a sample of the profile so he could try one of the suppliers that do various rubber extrusions on the roll, like COH Baines.

East Kent Trim list a new front screen rubber for an Imp for about £45 though, so I'm not sure what he's on about, unless there is a problem with how the EK product fits.

Mercedes, Poole, used to be classic parts dealers, not sure if they still are. Might be worth a try if no joy elsewhere.
