Since it's brittle and cracking, there's no saving it, so just tear it out. Around the side windows, it's just a press fit into the stainless rail. You won't be able to remove it without tearing. Same for the trunk lid, just a press fit. Check with the AMC vendors for replacements. American Parts Depot, Kennedy American, Etc. I think Metro is about the only company making replacement seals, so no matter who you buy it from, it's probably made by Metro. Bob tufcj
