Tried Clarke rubber and Kanga rubber to see if they have similar profile? They come to mind as suppliers worth asking.

I'm keen on replacing mine too, but I'd just want a new rubber not the whole thing.

Pretty keen on the rubber pending price. I was in the process of painting and restoring a spare cowl for just this purpose, but so far have been unable to find a replacement rubber strip.

Im still working on it, its a bit of a slow process...

I gave them a sample, cut of from my own rubber strip, which the supplier apparantly 'misplaced' so I gave them another and the supplier is sending back their closest match (all done via snail mail) should be a couple of days and they will give me a call and I'll go out and pick up the sample to see how it fits and gets some photos, measurements, comparisons etc... and pricing of course...

nope Ive had no luck in finding a replacement rubber strip, only the OEM replacement cowling @ $220 each...

so I remove the deteriorated rubber strip, sanded and sprayed the cowling plastic & the wiper arms in satin black, looks good...

it does look good... I fully recommend everyone to do it...

I'll see what I can do about pics, but pretty much they are going to show a nicely satin black coated version of what you have...lol...

just make sure you prep them well before painting....

Correct . I will try over weekend to post a pic haven't done so before.

Hey mate sorry can't get pic upload having sync problems. But it pretty straight forward I did my brothers today all you do is remove the factory silicon/selant with thin flat head, wipe clean, squeeze black silicon into the channel of the strip that sits under cowl just don't o.d. it, push seal into place,wipe excess with wet finger or rag take your pick, place a weight on seal and allow to dry..... Voila.

are you saying you stuck the rubber strip down with silicon?

pics?
