ahamilto,
Go find a real commercial refrigeration supply house, the kind that says "Wholesale Only" on the door. It will obvious when you walk in that this is not an off the street store front.
Have one of the gaskets with you and ask if they can suggest anything. . . .
Warning! Most of their clientele are people they know well and order by part number and this will be a rare opportunity for them to show each other what they know.
My bet is you will come away with material and instructions that will work.

I can see that they are either glued or the plastic is "welded" at the corners. It would be real easy to find one that is too big and cut it down, so if they could enable me to bond the corners like original, I would be home free.

ahamilto,
The Wabash (magnetic) door seal usually come as four assembled corners with long legs that you cut to fit. So, you cut it to fit and cut the vinyl magnets to length and slide them in.
Go there and talk to the people.

The one least out-of-my-way location is probably the one in Westland MI. All the ones in AL, MS, and TN are more than 100 miles from my house. When I am in Newport in a couple of weeks, the one in Westland will be only about 35 miles.

Ahamilto,
You are coming to Michigan at the wrong time, but you probably know that.
Both of these are closer to Newport than Westland is.
I have done business with both of these over the years.

There is also one of the biggest appliance parts in the country on Michigan Ave. in Canton. They are easy to deal with on line:

The online catalog works from manufacturer and model, but if you go there or call, you can do better. For now, if you go there and pick "refrigerator" and "gasket", you will get some choices you might look at. You can select some numbers, but there is little additional specification on the site. But, if you go there and talk to the person at the counter, they can pull a few for you to look at.
