Chubby box sounds like very boastful or very degrading
term that might arise after a serious night of boozing ...
This is some sort of a typo right?

For stuff that isn't available from car-specific mail order sources, there
are 2 big rubber repro places I'm aware of. They make extruded stuff
(weather stripping) and molded stuff (light gaskets, etc.). They may also
make new parts using your old as a template. There *may* be an extra charge
for custom work, but such stuff will often be added as a future offering,
once the mold or template has been made.

You're missing a key part. Get some heavy plastic, like the 4 and 6 mil
rolls from a building supply store, and cut out a piece the size of the
door panel. Glue the plastic directly to the door, around the edges and any
holes you need to make. (Window winder) This keeps moisture which runs down
the window to the inside from damaging your inner panel. Make sure your
door drain holes are clear so water can get out again as well.
