[FC] UPDATE RE: FC front grill gasket

[Eric Kirven]

That is exactly what it is. I have been looking at other profiles to see if there is anything out there that might work. If/when I find something I'll report back. 

I am still looking for the rubber seal/wiper that are at the bottom of the door windows. I've seen them listed for other cars as the lower channel seal. Just thougth I would ask again. I am putting my Greenbrier back together.
