I wanted to share a find for anyone looking for the same thing with no luck. I have been trying to find the flocked weatherstrip seal that goes on the leading edge of the quarter window to seal to the door glass. I ordered in the ones Van's has listed for replacement and not even close enough to make work so I ordered 2 other styles they had which they said may work. None they had were even able to be modified to work at around $60ea. STEEL RUBBER PRODUCTS HAS PART NUMBER 70-1556-890(SEE HYPERLINK BELOW) WHICH WORK PERFECTLY AND LOOK ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE VERY WORN OUT BRITTLE ORIGINAL ONES I NEEDED TO REPLACE! THEY LIST AS A REPLACEMENT FOR A DIFFERENT MOPAR BODY STYLE BUT WORK GREAT IF ANYONE ELSE IS IN NEED AND RUNS INTO THE SAME ISSUES.

I ended up using the non-flocked version from Vans that is listed as fitting C Bodies, and while it did fit, it didn't want to stay in place, especially at the very top and after a few times of opening and closing the door. I ended up using weatherstrip adhesive to keep it in place. Are your new seals behaving themselves or do they want to come out?

I tried both the non flocked ones vans said was for my car and a flocked identical version, both had the same issue you did and didnt look anything like the originals. The ones I listed from steel rubber are flocked and shaped just like the originals causing them to lock into place like the originals without any adhesive. The only visual difference is the original had a small indentation in 4 spots for the chrome trim screws along the inside of the weatherstrip track. these seem to press in without that being an issue but I used a dremel with a small stone buffer tip to buff a small indentation along the backside making them just like the originals. I emailed steel rubber customer service and told them to add our models to their product listing and in the vehicle search field because unlike the ones from vans these work perfectly without any glue or hassles!
 
when you install them you will have to finess them in with a wide(1.5-2inch) putty knife or similar to press the lip of the back side into the groove in the stainless channel like the originals, take your time and the pop right in without any slipping or wiggle after
