Rear Tail Lights Edge Perimeter Trim Rubber Gasketry
Mine are not so good. Is this available new from anywhere ? Is there a substitute extruded rubber profile that can be used ? Any help or direction is appreciated.

Yeah people have been looking for a replacement for these for years.
I ended up just going to a rubber/foam stockist and bought some foam "tape" that had a sticky side that you peeled the backing paper off and was around a 1/4 inch thick, but compressed very easily down to about 1mm or so.
I took the lights off, cut up the foam "tape" and stuck it to the lights where the old gasket sat. Then re-bolted the lights to the car and tightened them up.
It worked a treat and hasn't leaked once.
It looked like this stuff, you remove the yellow paper backing to reveal a sticky underside....only mine wasn't that thick or wide....but you get the idea.
