Trying to find out what weather stripping goes in this location on the convertible top frame around the windows? And if anybody has some sort of diagram for the various weatherstripping and ceiling components for this car, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have a 1936 Conv Sedan and replaced the same weather stripping awile back. Turned out pretty good and I am not aware of any other suppliers. It was availbe at the the time from Steele Rubber https://www.steelerubber.com/.   Good Luck!

Yes, just verified with the receipt I had kept.  The only area that gave me an issue was by the rear window flaps.  Had to cut some of the stripping so the flaps would go up and down.  Used very little adesive/sealant.  The rubber fits nicely into most of the channels.  Happy Motoring!

The rubber channel also gets wrapped in bowdrill which Steele also has. It comes in tan or black rolls and is pre pasted.    Harry

OK so I need to order both then question do you happen to have a picture of what it looks like after it's installed?

Here's a picture of my old '37 when removing the top. The window seals are the originals. Here is a link to Steele for the tan: https://www.steelerubber.com/tan-bowdrill-cloth-tape-70-1173-65[attach id=198292]IMG_0155.

I never thought of putting the bowdrill on.  Just an oversight on my part.  Doesnt look that bad without but not correct.  See pic
