I'm having the same issue with my headlight gaskets, i.e. turning into mush.
I was wondering if someone tried to just replace the original gaskets with some standard O-ring cord? The cord can be spliced into an O-ring by cutting it and gluing it together with super glue.

Me too. Too lazy at the moment to take out the headlight to see what shape the rubber trim is to find a replacement that will work. Had the same problem with not finding it listed in the parts lists. The independent shop couldn't find it either. If I find something that will work I will post it here. I'm sure we aren't the only ones experiencing this. There are some weather strip makers that make restoration parts that might have something that we can make work.
