Default Replacement seal for antenna rotor

I picked up several old channel master antenna rotors for use with
light weight beams, they check out ok but the top seal on both motors
is cracked and needs replacement.
Has anyone found a homebrew way of making or find a
replacement for the rotor seal?

IF you are referring to the outside housing.
Gasket material at you local full service auto store should work.

Or, if you're speaking of a rain cap skirt, get a roof vent pipe weather
skirt from plumbing supply that is a snug fit on the mast and trim as
necessary. They are designed for outdoor exposure from the git-go.
