Default Weather Stripping Overhaul

First, I hope I'm posting this in the right location if not can a moderator switch it to the correct spot thanks. in NJ we have gotten almost 3X's the average snow fall for our area accompanied by days and days of rain and iv noticed a few "weak" areas in the weather stripping, ie: minor droplets from top of driver window onto door armrest where the power window switches are when wipers are on. Thats the only spot i can see as of right now but better off replacing all of it. Already had the typical issue with the cabin air filter weather stripping causing a 3" puddle of water to form on my passenger floor over night. I know they sell long rolls of different types of stripping but was curious if anybody has come across a site or store that sells Car Specific sets of weather stripping. Stuff thats already pre-cut and the right mold to fit specifically selected cars such as ours. Going to wait till spring in order to do this so i have some time to search and get some responses. thanks guys!

It is really just a big piece of plastic but it's under $4 at the dealer.

i had put in the cowl deflector about a month ago when i woke up one morning to 3" puddle of water on passenger floor. knew right away what problem was from a thread i saw on here. got the part next day and put it on. but now i want/need to do stripping on driver side door as there is a small leak that allows drops to fall on/near the controls for power windows. found a thread that shows the locations of the main ones but was looking for a bit more info on it. such as types, brands, removal and install process. heard some are more difficult than others such as the stripping on the doors that require rivets.

Before replacing the weather strip have you tried cleaning and treating it? My driver side door had a drip in the exact spot you're talking about. After washing the weather strip and treating it with white lithium grease it hasn't dripped since. Just a little food for thought...
