Default 83 Vert - another weatherstripping question

So, I bought a weatherstripping kit, and started replacing all of the old, leaky, cracked weatherstripping on my 83 vert. But, I'm missing a piece and can't seem to find it from an online vendor:

For the rear side of the quarter windows, there's a rubber strip on the convertible top. The top and front side quarter window seals I have, but not the rear seal. Since there's obvious daylight showing through that area, and it's in a position that will suck in rain water while driving, I'd really like to replace those.

Does anyone know of vendor(s) who carry those, or things I can search for in Google to help me find them? I've tried searching for convertible top parts, as well as weatherstripping, but it's almost like those pieces don't exist....

Thanks, anderman. That's one of the places I looked, but I'm still having trouble finding the rubber piece that fits in the top itself and seals off the rear side of the quarter window.

I'm not sure if this is a function of the top itself, or Ford's hardware underneath. That's something I'll look into tonight when I get home. I can't remember what that rubber strip is fastened to, but I think it's the metal structure of the top.

I already have a set of the "Vertical Quarter Window Weather Strip", but that goes on the front side of the quarter windows, not the rear side. I have no idea how to put them on, but that's a project for this winter.
