I'm sure you younger folks have never heard of this old time secret method so I'll pass it along.
Remove the old chunk of rubber. Find a plastic bucket or pan large enough to place it in without breaking it by folding tightly. Estimate the required capacity of the bucket to immerse the rubber molding. Go to you local auto parts supplier, Wallymart, or where ever and buy enough old style brake fluid to cover the molding. Soak for one week or less and remove, wipe and air dry for a couple of days. This method has worked in reviving old hardened rubber moldings of 1930's & 40's Cadillacs, Packards, Chevies that I assisted during total restorations. Rubber replacements parts for these cars was not available in the 1970's. The results could vary based on the composition of the rubber so monitor your progress on a daily basis.

Go to a glass shop and look for something that will work. You will come up with something.
It just won't be stock. What about silicon.
I don't think Brake fluid will fix broken and cracked rubber.
TREBOR does not say it will.

Ouch... You tossed them! There is only one kind of used rubber that should be tossed. All else must be kept. Sorry, I never found new ones myself. Try jimsautopart.com or pm Mark Nelson.
