Door glass bottom rubers

Just going through door internals. The rubbers on the bottom out side of the door glass are all gone hard and perished. So I have trimmed off what was left. Only one is half reasonable. Are these rubbers available new. Can I do without them. Do I try to stick some rubber strips in their place. I suppose draughts and water leakage are enevitable. Need some advice.

Went through a similar situation not too long ago. I went to Clarke Rubber and got similar thickness rubber. I then Sikafexed it to the glass at 90 degrees. Did the trick nicely. I did this about 6 months ago and haven't put the door trim back on. Just went and had a look at it hasn't moved at all.

Most modern cars don't use a rubber just "silastic". When I replaced our drivers side channel a few years ago I omitted the rubber and set the window into the channel using silastic. Once it was cured it then went in the car. It still there and working great.

I think the rubber flap is there to deflect water away from the metal runner that is clamped to the bottom of the window.If you have a look at mickrats pic you'll see rust has started at each end where the rubber has deteriorted/missing.Rust starts there and then drops down and starts to rust the bottom of the door.

Found another complete set of door glass. The bottom channel runners are perfect but again the rubbers are shot after looking very closely at the positioning of the rubbers they appear only to collect water that runs down the glass and direct it to each end of the glass letting it fall to the bottom of the doors directly above the drain holes for exit from door. Decided to trim them back and fit sticky back small rubber section across length of glass to keep out draughts. Rust treated door internals and cleaned out drain holes. Don't mind a small amount of water getting in so long as it can get out.
