dimensions of sunroof seal

Does anyone know where I can find the dimensions of the sunroof seal? I'm wanting to get a cheaper 3rd party seal with similar shape rather than the one from mazda

Actually, a replacement Mazda sunroof gasket comes in a coil with two loose ends. It's not preformed to fit the sunroof. The Mazda gasket is glued to the sunroof. I would recommend just measuring the perimeter of the sunroof. If the gasket your looking at is preformed, than just measure the length and width of your sunroof.

I'm not talking about the length of the seal but its cross sectional shape. It would have to have a very specific shape to fit onto the sunroof edge snugly I'd imagine.

Kind of hard to describe without a photo. Maybe best to reference photo #6 in this link (https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...-right-847072/)
