Can I use any style window gasket?

Exciting_Scientist97@alien.topB to Mechanic Advice@gearhead.townEnglish · 1 year ago

So the story is I have a truck canopy that I’m trying to repair. The window that folds open fell out and when I tried to put it back i found the gasket dried out and cracked. I’ve been trying to find a gasket that matches what’s already there but I can’t seem to find it anywhere local shop or online and to make matters worse, the place the canopy came from has been closed for something like 4-6 years. I’m at the point of giving up and slapping something different in but I don’t want to waste time and money. Is this something I’d need to replace it with what’s already there or can I use something else? Sorry I don’t have pictures at the moment but if needed I can update this post with some. Thanks in advance

Are you in the states? Are you talking about camper top? The rear fold out window?
