Where it fits in the holder?
Make one out of inner tube seems the best plan.

I think you will find that even if you find a rubber, the glass ,rubber and metal runner ,never stays together for long and the glass slips out when you wind the window down,(don't know how they made the original grip ,because theres no glue involved in the joint they must of had some clamping system just strong enouh to squash the runner and rubber without breaking the glass )Since you never need to remove the glass from the runner,except for a breakage,your best bet,like I did after three trys to get the glass it stay in place ,was to bond the glass to the runner using sikolfex(Same as they bond modern screen to frame). Never get it back off but stays in place.

Birmingham Morris Minor Centre stocks them - I fitted them to my new glass.
