They are the rubber ones that run along the bottom of the door windows on both sides. Anyway, if you have some decent ones, just let me know. I have an 83 US.
Mike,
My best advice would be buy a new pair from Roger. I think he sells them for roughly $130 a pair IIRC. The door trim on the '85 appears good as there is no obvious dry rotting, but I can see that water is collected in the bottom of the doors as I have all of the interior removed..
Note: The door trim is tricky to replace. They fit tightly. You can get a set of good, sturdy plastic clip tools at Harbor Freight. Remove the door panels and do this from the inside of the door. The easiest way to remove them is to overlap a pair of plastic door trim tools as you fit them both beneath the lip of the trim. Use the one in your left hand as a lever and the other for your prying force. The door trim will pop up. It will be tempting to grab it with your hands and to remove it the rest of the way. To prevent any damage to the door, continue using the clip tool method to remove the trim until it is free of the door. Be mindful of the glass as you do this. It is unlikely to damage it in this process, but it is possible if you aren't using the correct tools.
