Believe it or not but JC Whitney has a cloth covered windlace that is near
identical to the Spridget hardtop windlace.  They also have a rubber seal
that while not exactly the same, works perfectly for the rear glass. The
windlace is not cheap, a roll is $75 but will do two cars so if you can
split with someone like I did it's not too bad.  The rubber seal for the
glass was about $30.  I don't have the part numbers handy but will find them
and post them for the list.
