You wont be able to get thicker rubbers.
If the window you are replacing is the same as any of the others you currently have in the van, take one of the others to a glass place and they will
be able to cut a new one for you.
They will be able to make it out of laminated or if you wait they will get it toughened.

You will notice that virtually ALL windows inserted into windowless vans etc.. are always 25-50mm smaller than what would have been fitted there by
the factory, as they just cut a hole in the flat metal surface... rather than cut where the original would have been....
