From my searching it would seem people are using a front door seal as a replacment for this seal:

The profile of this original seal is much different than a door seal, is there really nobody that is reproducing this correctly. WCM shows they have the seal but
it is just a piece of door seal.

Why do both only fit later buses? one says 64-67 and the other 66-67? Aren't they all the same up there from 55-67?
