Sewn-in Weatherstripping in sliding glass half door uppers

[hr220a]

I recently purchased a 2003 TJ as a daily driver. It has half doors with sliding glass uppers. Looking at pictures of others' I believe these are the Bestop ones. The weatherstripping is collapsed and needs to be replaced. It's causing the canvas to sit directly against the door and allowing light gaps along the junction. The weatherstripping is sewn to the canvas though. Is this replaceable? If not, I could add some stick on weatherstripping to the top of the door but that seems like a pretty bad solution.

Can you make a small slit or find an opening and feed some rope in? I added 1/4" poly rope to mine and it works great!
