Gasket needed

I'm looking for a specific rubber gasket for the '62 Imperial.  This is the trunk spear gasket; it's about 3" long by 1-3/8", and fits under the latch end of the trunk spear, and is shaped like a capital "D", elongated.

 

This gasket is exclusive to the '62.  The trunk lid is without the flight-sweep deck option.

 

I am looking for a re-manufactured gasket, as all the originals are brittle and are easily damaged during removal of the trunk spear.  Andy Bernbaum (Massachusetts) says he could make the part, but has no interest in doing so, as demand is low.  Gary Goers doesn't list it in his catalog, and I probably won't live long enough to ever see the part if I did order through him.  IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE RE-PRODUCING THIS GASKET, please let me know.

 

Thanks,
