Side panel rubber strips

The long rubbers on my GP frame that protect the seat arch from damage from the panels are not doing their job. There is damage to the paintwork on the frame seat arch, and I think the reason is that the rubbers don’t go far enough up the frame. When the panels are on, you can barely see the rubbers.
Sorry, this is hard to explain, but the rubbers aren’t really wide enough.
Does anyone sell wider rubbers?

The widest ones I have come across are the indian ones and seem thicker. Scooterrestorations have them

Recently had some from scooter restorations they are wider than the ones that I had on my li before and can clearly be seen above the side panels. Good fit and side panels are only slightly tighter to get on which I would expect from new rubber.

ScootRS used to do some nice deep ones. I'm using Scootopia ones on a couple of my scooters at the moment, and they seem pretty good.

I think mine came from Scootopia, but your rubbers and my rubbers might be a different batch/supplier.
Thanks

I always use the Indian ones from Resto's as they are wider and more plastic than rubber so grip and stay on without the need to glue.

I bought a set from CamLam that if anything were too wide as they were visible above the side panels
