Hi I’m having the same issue sourcing the lock seal on the tailgate of my 127 Palio as part of my restoration, think I’ve found one from Marin Willems but looks as though they don’t ship to the Uk. Just contacted them via email to see if we can sort something, will let you know
@Kboustani
I did a bit of searching, it seems the original Fiat part no. was possibly 4287345 but I couldn't find anyone listing it currently.
However, I think this part will fit your car (some Yugo's were similar to some Fiat's) :-

Or a 3d printer. design a groove around the centre so an O ring can be fitted for water proofing??

I saw that seal but wasn't impressed with the quality when I zoomed-in on the image - it looked like a poor quality reproduction.Quick search on google and:
As the OP, @Kboustani is in the U.S., I decided to point him towards a U.S. based part supplier, their price was also a fraction of the martinwillems price.
I had already tried this Co. - they don't stock parts for Fiat cars , just for classic British makes plus generic door and window seals, no lock cylinder seals.
I'm old-school...
I was going to suggest a bead of silicone sealant around the lock cylinder to seal it to the body and then find a suitable brake cylinder dust boot to fit over the lock barrel. The lock on these trunk locks isn't a push button type, just a cylinder requiring a 1/4 turn with a key to open.
Thought about that, too. But if it's and old stock, might be that it was the quality of the products at that time. Can't remember well, was too young at that time. Then, the surface visible is the external, or the internal part? Perhaps the other side is much better.
Unfortunately, the bubbly surface seen when the image is enlarged is the outside (visible) part.
I can visualise the original profile, it was flatter and didn't taper towards the central hole. I worked on these 127's and remember gently prising up the top lip with a small screwdriver in order to apply a few drops of oil between the moveable lock cylinder and it's housing.
But I suppose, nowadays, given the age of these models, being able to get hold of even a slightly poor quality replacement is a lot better than having nothing at all.
