Were to find 1932 Cabriolet weatherstripping

I have a cabriolet that I have been driving for 15 plus years and really never put up the window because of the weather stripping. We drive her rain or shine but I think its time to seal her up tighter. Also someone shortened my window frames on the bottoms so the windows don't work like they really should. So does anyone have a source for the correct weather stripping for the doors,windows, front cowl and top. I have bought some in the past but didn't look correct or work good.
Oh yea :Dany idea were I could get window frames I picked up another cabriolet and its missing the top iron and side windows. Thanks

There is no such thing as door weather stripping on a cabriolet. The closes weather seal is the right angle seal that abuts the door window frame up the pillar post and at the rear top iron. These strips slide into a 1" wide u channel to position.

Thanks for the reply Mr Spadaro , can you or someone help with a picture of the channel you speak of. I have 2 cabriolets and none have the channel on the top post or the windscreen post. I have seen some sort of L weather strip and have tried a few I have picked up and work ok but want to be correct and seal her up tighter yet. We hope to drive to CA and the wife would like a drier ride :D.
Thanks

Any windsheild post pictures of a cabriolet in restored condition or original. Just need info on the seal between the door window and post.
