Spoiler Gaskets for the 'shorty' spoiler

Hey

I'm so close to getting my car painted finally, and now I need to get all the weatherstripping etc.

One thing I haven't been able to find are the gaskets that go with the 88 shorty spoiler. Mine are cracked and look pretty bad, and I would like to get new ones. The gaskets have an edge on them, that is visible when the spoiler is installed.

Are these available anywhere?

Does anyone have any ideas on where I could get replacements?
I can't find them anywhere, I guess they only made this spoiler for half a year.

I believe you're right on that spoiler. I think mine is the same. I had to make a template out of cardboard and cut some gaskets out of an old fender liner.

Good luck. I've only seen the one on my 88, and that's it. I doubt they make replacements for it. You may need to do some other method of sealing.
