Default Affordable roof rail weatherstripping?!

Can't believe how expensive weatherstripping for the roof rail is!!!! Does anyone know where you could get some decent roof rail weatherstripping that won't eat your wallet. Otherwise any tips on anything that would help out. My weatherstripping is mangled and I everytime it rains I have about 4 inches of standing water on the rear passenger floor.

Default 4th gen hardtop is different than the newer Montes

My Monty is a fourth gen hardtop. I have nothing but watherstripping (roof rail seals) between my driver/passenger side window and the roof of the car.


This is what I need to seal between the window and body.


You can see with the door open the roof rail seal adheres to the body and acts as a leak guard between the window and roof of car.

...and I am still looking. The cheapest I have found so far is Summit...117.00 and OPGI.com 110.00
