Weatherstrip source

Howdy! Any good sources for weatherseal you people can point me to? My biggest concern is the in/ out drivers vent window, kinda odd shape. I'm thinking home supply store might have usable stuff for emergency door...but need the felt type stuff for windows, bottom of door, other odd ball areas...any help greatly appreciated !

I can't help with the felt...and I'll be following to see what gets recommended. But, for emergency doors and such we've good luck with this D-shaped stuff. Search "trunk weatherstripping" or "trunk molding" and you'll find it. It's puffy enough to fill voids well, but is soft enough to collapse and not jam the door. Here's a photo I just snagged from the interwebs...
