you would have to find a rubber parts manufacturer ,then they will give you a tooling cost ,which can run in the thousands of dollars

Yep tooling up to produce seals like that will cost you a fortune. If you get a real price, make sure you are sitting down, or better still lying on the floor when they tell you.

What about using a thin strip of rubber and just running it around to shape?

the tool to produce those will cost you more than its worth to buy 50 sets of new mirrors
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

'O' ring kits are similar, lengths of varying thickness neoprene, you cut to lenth and join by super-glue

That's a great idea. You could even make a "straw" out of paper in different shapes e.g. triangular or rectangular.
