I am trying to find these quarter window seals and and i don't really know what i am looking for (proper name i guess is the problem.) 

if you can not tell from the pics, (horrible photographer) it is the rear outer quarter window seal. i am looking for them but not feeling confident with the little/poor pics provided on the sites im looking. tired of ordering and shipping twice to get the right part. Sooooo any help /part number/vendor would be appreciated..

The inner is not currently being reproduced, but I'm working on getting Metro to make them.

The outers I picked up from Fusick when I did my car in 2020. They're for the Cutlass as well, but it appears they're a lot cheaper than what Metro is selling them for. Looks like I got them from their ebay store too. I don't know if the ones Metro makes are better/softer than what Fusick sells though.

The inners I got from SoffSeal. They're not an exact match for the Monte, but the only thing I could find that even worked. These only have 2 retaining clips vs. the 3 that were on my car. I did try to remove clips from my originals to install on the new seal, but it was a complete P.I.T.A. They will clip on the car as purchased though. The rubber section matched up real well to the originals, and they look/function fine on the car.

or from the rest of the suppliers:

Google search results

Note: SS-396 does say they fit 70-72 Chevelle & Monte (despite what I mentioned above about the clips), and they also fit Buick Skylark & GS. .

Have you tried Konik’s Klassiks or The Parts Place? (810) 334-4162 or (630) 365-1800.

Jst FYI Joes' link did lead me to a suitable replacement for the inners. Softseal SS-5023. First Place auto parts had them in stock. i think they are for a Skylark. Thanks for the help.

If those are for a Chevelle the clips don't line up like the stock seal.

correct. i believe they only have 2 clips and i think the Monte has 3?

Yes, as I stated earlier, and they will clip on the body and work.

 I still played around and tried to replicate the original clip positions. Unfortunately, trying to remove the original clips to mount on the new seals was just a time consuming exercise in futility. The clips are spring steel, so the tabs are brittle and snap off making it even more frustrating. 

Plus, they are the only available option at present.

The Fusick ones Fit PERFECT and way cheaper than the Metro. Yikes.

I did order the Fusick ones, cheaper and the shipping was 1/2 as much also.
