Does anyone know if there are sources for the "gaskets" that fit between a hood ornament or a door handle and the sheet metal? I have looked and only found LMC having them but only come with the door handle or only with the purchase of a hood ornament. I cannot find any gaskets that are between the 4 roof drip rails above the doors on a 1989 Suburban, or the chrome rear electric tailgate key switch. Still unable to find the quarter panel emblems that have "SLE Suburban" near the rear doors either. Also there's a gasket for the radio antenna on the right front fender. Then, I can't find the two 1989 front bumper impact strips with the black 4 ribs and chrome upper 5th rib. LMC has the side moldings but not the front bumper strips I'm getting prepared to paint and when all gets reassembled, these gaskets, impact strips and emblems are going to help complete the job as close to OEM as possible.

The roof drip rails don't get a gasket. Just self-adhesive weatherstripping tape.

I'd actually try GM for the antenna gasket. While it was only used '88-'91 on the square trucks, it was also used on a million or so fwd cars.

The tailgate window switch gasket might be available as reproduction from some resto parts companies for 60's cars. Iirc, that switch bezel was originally used on full sized station wagons.

The SLE Suburban emblems and front rub strips are likely unobtainium at this point. You'll probably have to search really hard for NOS or really nice used.
