I haven't seen those things on a car in ages.  Not sure you can buy them new anymore.  Maybe a junk yard if you are open to recycled parts.  Otherwise, could a narrow detail broom do it for you as a sub?

Auto dust brush

I'd probably start with something called conveyor brush. It's hit & miss at Amazon, but McMaster has plenty of it.

May not be an exact replacement, but it's pretty close.

Google brush type cord slot.  Wide choice of sizes available.  Roly

Thanks for the responses. I didn't find quite what I need, but at least now I know what I am looking for.

How big are you looking for? These are available for routing cables out of a wall to a device, not sure if it would do you any good...just showing a possibility.

I have used the brush in an aluminum extrusion sold for weather-stripping the bottom of doors for keeping metal chips out of a DRO on a metal mill. I shortened the brush length a little and it is working great after a number of years. The brush part of the strip is the bristles held together with a very small metal strip that then slides into the extrusion. You may be able to use this brush part without the rest of the extrusion by glueing it into a kerf in the wood..

Do a Google search for "linear brush" or "vacuum brush". Youll come up with a number of different configurations and options. I think you can order from Amazon.

Check Amazon for door bottom seals

I ended up making my own. Just some strips of aluminum coil stock, bent over the fuzzy half of a velcro strip. Doesn't have bristles like a broom, but it'll work.
