This will be tough! I checked with Steele Rubber; the model is not included in their offer. However, if you can rescue the old weatherstrip, they can do a new one. Of course, you have to send them the old one.
David King (from this forum) is involved with those Brougham models; maybe you will get an answer from him.
I had 1960 #21, white on all white leather, grey trim.
Typically on these rare glass, owners collectively venture towards a small production run. Some have an immediate need and others shelf the product for future need. I sold an original 1957 version for exact, correct duplication of it. Jean Claude Francetti of the data base here was working this project and would be excellent source for information.
The rubber could be custom fit using lengths of available gaskets and piecing/splicing them. Or again having one custom cast.
I have emailed Kodrey. The weather strip extrusion is odd and different between 59 and 60. The Brougham's have a one piece, chromed, surround which is attached to the windshield and backlight weatherstrip and loaded to the body opening as an assembly. The chrome surround features which retain it are different between 59 & 60, so the weatherstrips are unique to each year. Replacement windshield glass was the same, though the 1st 50 cars in 59 had a slightly larger glass and prone to cracking.

I've heard about the difference in size for 59 and 60 Brougham. But, nobody has been able to tell me what the difference is.
Anyone know?
Thanks,
Kris
