Somerford do a complete range of sunroof spares for the classic mini. http://www.somerford...page=page&id=35

Don't be surprised if it's not the seal that's actually the problem though, on tilting sunroofs the metal hinges at the front often weaken over the years reducing their ability to pull the glass down into the seal. Bending them a little is one option, but if they are old and fatigued they tend to snap if you try and make adjustments. Sadly new hinges don't seem to be available on their own at the moment, meaning you have to buy a new glass assembly complete with hinges in order to replace them.

I can't help you there as mine is a Webasto item. Give Somerford a call tomorrow though, they're pretty helpful and seem to know there stuff, so will probably be able to confirm this for you.

Have you considered getting hold of a complete second hand Webasto unit and buying a new seal for that instead??
