WANTED: Sapphire rear outer window seals?
Part numbers 1651243 & 1651241, these are the rear outer window seals (both sides) for a saph, which I have been told are now NLA by Ford.
The car is going in for paint next week, and I have managed to order the front ones for both sides, and ideally I'd like brand new rear ones as well if anyone can guide me in the right direction? Obviously my backup plan will be to buy doors off a poverty spec model just for the window seals, but new ones are my preffered option.
Has anyone ever dealt with any aftermarket suppliers of this type of thing, surely there must be companies that specialise in this for classic restorations and so on....Although admittedly it's only a sierra

Nla from ford for years,I had this problem in 2007 when I did my saph.
I bought 4 front seals and used the pass front on the drivers rear and vice versa.
They are almost a perfect fit straight away,they need a little fettling around the top curve where they bend backwards but they are dead easy to manipulate then about 30mm cut off each end.
I'd put money on every seal you find second hand being bubbled up,honestly it's a 10 min job to adapt them and they are identical so you will never know.
