I think he means that part of the weather stripping that goes on either side of the window at the bottom, that scrape water off as you roll it down?

But yeah, victoria british has them, if thats what you are talking about.

Anyone ordered these from VB? Are they the full length of the window?

My old ones are about 1/4 to 1/2 to short.

I got them from VB and they were great. If your window is not on the track they get messed up. They are just like stock. Mine were 1"-.5" to long, but I would rather trim than have them to long.

The old ones are short because the rubber has shrunk over the years. The new ones are not too long, they were improperly installed and will be too short soon, if you trimed them.

The new rubber streaches easily. Install each end first, 1-2", then work a spot in the middle down, 2-3". then work the rest of the gasket in.
