Well, now I'm really starting to wonder....
Thanks to everyone who responded, but I'm pretty sure these aren't 
fuzzies (which are connected to the door).  The door windows of my FC 
have rubber seals clamped to the bottom of the windows, apparently 
intended to minimize water entering the door when the window is 
closed.  See a diagram here:

They are quite dry and cracked, and this is what I'd like to replace.  Ideas?
Thanks.
