Front windshield rubbers that fit into the glass frame .

As indicated looking for front windshield rubbers that are designed to fit into the steel frame I believe they would be 1-2 inches in width, that go the entire length and up the sides of window frame. Any help would be much appreciated as to where I can source this rubber material.
The window is designed to move out or in.
Thanks for your assistance.

Check Steele Rubber parts for restoration rubber of many kinds. Not sure on your '28.

Windshield Rubber for 1928-29 Durants
Many years ago an article in “The Old Partsman” reported that the
windshield rubber used on all 1928-29 Durant closed cars and
cabriolets (M-2, M-4, 40, 55, 60, 63, 65, 70, 75 and L-2 trucks)
was still available from Wefco Rubber Co. inCalifornia. Recently,
member Bill Hoaglan contacted the company and was able to buy
some more rubber. Their updated information is as follows:
Wefco Rubber Mfg. Co., Inc.
21000 Osborne Street, Unit 2
Canoga Park, CA 91304
818-886-8872
wefcorubber.com
The Wefco P/N is #835.0 and is an exact match of the Durant
windshield rubber P/N #24766. It takes 7’ to go around the
windshield. A minimum charge of $50 to cover the set up is
required.

Hey Phil and everybody;

I think it was Bill Hoaglan several years ago posted that I think it was Wefco but I'm not sure, had the rubber for the windshields that fit in the grooves in the windshield frame. I sent my order in and it was an exact fit. For the bottom, top and side flat rubber insulated pieces, I think Steele has them.
