Hi Patrick, I was also looking at my front and rear side markers.
According to the Victoria catalogue, the front and rear rubber thingy
are the same, but the right and left ones are different.
I've talk with the machinist at the University here and he suggested making
a mould with the original rubber gaskets with a block of PVC in two
halves. Once the mould in made one can then use heated exterior silicone
or urathane caulking to fill the mould. But make sure to spray the inside
of the mould with PAM or similar product so the caulking wil not stick to
the mould.
