forward hatch leak

I have a 2005 232 coastal and have been recently experiencing some leakage from the forward hatch. I suspect that the rubber trim is compressed to a point where water is leaking. It's not a lot but annoying enough. I can't find a replacement part number. Does anyone know what Wellcraft part to order or a suitable substitute?
Thanks

I have the same problem with my 2005. I bought some EPDM 1/8" thick black weatherstripping from Lowes and installed it opposite the existing weatherstripping and have it fixed 98%. Plant to look closer to finish th job. With Amazon Lens, I determined that the hatch is made by Jim Black and Great Lakes Skipper sells their stuff.
