So I had a pool in me boot & just took it onto the local Glazier & as I expected he was not keen to remove the glass altogether & risk tearing the seal
(below images from the interweb)

he pulled the filler strip, removed as much or what looked like the original hard sealant & pooed it up with new goop for now & I am happy
but still left wondering who or where is best contact for a new seal should we go that way?
The one on the 80's Chrysler in my year doesn't look toooo bad though I am worried it might be a slightly different shape (doubt it but that thought is still there)

basis?
ebay?
UK?
ok I should probably just ask uncle Google but real life experiences are sometime worth looking dumb & asking silly questions just to create discussion or get super helpful links :P
edit : HAH Trademe user Whitbait (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=1000750) appears to have the contacts for them (2 weeks delivery in the listing suggest drop-shipping from the UK

yes i believe they are ex uk, price them on east kent trim supplies i think they are around 35 to 40 uk pounds plus exchange rate plus shipping would put it in or around that price.
speedy spares still have them listed also uk.
problem with basis is they are off a roll and its not moulded for the corners,although east kent and speedy don't fit all that well in the corners either but better than off a roll.
less hassle to buy of trademe if the guy is buying form east kent
I have a still in the bag factory made rear seal with chrome strip for $160 delivered..PM me if wanting.
Excellent information guys will see how the goop holds up otherwise I'll be in touch Ross cheers
