I assume you are seeking the weatherstip for the rear of the top?  If so,
and you have a factory HT, I doubt you'll find the original.  However, you
can use a long piece of the same w/s used on the windshield edge of the top.
That's what I did a few years ago.

One of the suppliers (NOT Vic Br. [they refused to do it], I think it was
SICP in Rhode Is) was kind enought to rummage through their supply of w/s
for the front & send me the longest one they had.  It was just a few inches
short & I used a short remnant from one I had left after installing same on
a soft top.  Rubber cement joined the two sections nicely.

It has worked well since then.  For straight sections under the side
windows, I just use rubber w/s from the local hardware store (3/4" x c.1"?).
The car is as tight and draft-free as can be (for a LBC).

Hope this helps.
