Default Custom Sunroof - Weather Stripping Help

I have searched all over the net for help to no avail. I have a 1989 CRX DX (Base) model. I bought it with a custom sunroof that someone installed. All it basically is, is a push up sunroof. The weather stripping got ripped up when I locked my keys in my car and we stuck a coat hanger through the top.

I am looking to replace the weather stripping rubber tubing for the sunroof since it leaks like crazy in the rain. I have bought 2 different types and it seems the only one that will work is an exact replacement part, except I have no idea what kind is currently in. It is 'L' shaped a bit, the tubing looks like a thin oval. I will take a pic to clarify what I mean as soon as the weather clears up here (PA). Anyone have any input on where I could find this type of rubber weather stripping? It would be greatly appreciated because I hate having it taped up with pink duct tape.

I beleive that's what I bought. It was too thick and rectangluar shaped for the tube. The other one I bought hada bulb on top (circular) and my sunroof sat above the roof a quarter inch.

It's midnight here and if the weather is nice, I will have pics up tomorrow of the tubing that I need.

Maybe this should get moved to another forum?
