1973 Sedan Deville Weather Stripping

[73 Sedan Deville]

Hi all, new member to the forums, have lurked before in trying to solve my own problems but this one has me stumped. I Just recently purchased a beautiful green on green with a white top 73 sdv and noticed the back rear facing window seal is leaking slightly in one corner. For the life of me I can't locate a replacement seal, does anyone know where to get one?

These windows are glued in.

Be aware that when the glass is removed, and best done by a windscreen shop, you could very well have to deal with some horrible rust issues.

Thank you very much. I think the leak is relatively new in the cars life ,I imagine when they re-did the vinyl top way prior to my ownership they must of either left the rear window alone or re-glued it down and it's finally given up the ghost. The area around the rear window seal at least on the exterior from what I can feel has no bumps, humps or rice crispies as well as no weeping from the lower portion of the top.

I was planning on it, my current pride and joy. 

The story behind her is that she's a one family owned in Mass. The original buyer bought her late model year in 1973 and owned her until 1978 when he passed where it went onto his brother who owned it until earlier this year when he passed from dementia where it then moved to his daughter. From what I've been told he'd take it out for short drives every now and then and when he could no longer drive, others in the family would take him out in it. From the looks of things the only thing not original on the car is the vinyl top (easily spotted since its the wrong grain but correct color) and a repaint done at some point in the original factory Dark Forrest green metallic.
The only things really wrong or in operable on the car are the radio lights up but plays no sound, the interior lights don't come on at all (dash lights work but are nice and dim), someone disconnected the seat belt buzzer for constantly being on, and some weather stripping in the roof rails needs replacing and the auto climate controller is lazy and was bypassed so it can just blow either heat or blow cold from the a.c with a manual switch over, as well as the washer fluid likes to constantly blow out with the wipers on.
Now the real awesome part of this is that the car has original 66k miles and is just about as factory stock as you can get, sans some missing floor Matt's and a trunk liner.
So far she has been the most reliable and comfortable car I've ever been in or driven.
