Where to buy Weather Stripping
I am looking for a place to buy a complete Weather Stripping Kit. Where is the Cheapest place? I looked at EBAY and found a kit for $395. seems a bit expensive to me. My main concern is the Targa top, rear hatch and door seals.

Just replaced my front and rear pillar weatherstrips with new ones from Wilcox. Really good fit, and nice weatherstrip. Take a look around, you'll find they have some coupon codes which make them a little more affordable.

Wilcox is no 1 forget the rest, yes you can get cheap weatherstrips however you will need to slam the door to shut it and it may not seal you do not want water dripping on your girlfriend/wife they will not want to go for a ride in your car again. 
Like most on this forum i made the mistake of going for cheap stuff, i had the "Metro" stuff. It leaked all the time while rain or just washing the car, also the doors would not close without really slamming them.
The "it will soften in time" is bulls#$t.
I went to Wilcox weatherstrips and there are no more leaks, also the doors close easy. There is not that big a price difference and the wilcox weatherstrips are nice andc soft similar to the original.
