Default Windshield Header and A-Pillar Weatherstrip for 2004 CE source?

I replaced the roof and side rails for my targa top and halo weather strip, but to get everything to seal up I've got to replace the "Windshield Header and A-Pillar Weatherstrip" . I've tried adjusting my window tilt in but it is the orignal strip and water comes in the car near the front top corner..on the bright side it doesn't come out the back corner anymore. Is there a good supplier of the Windshield Header and A-Pillar Weatherstrip that isn't $900 ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

For new, short answer is "no", sorry to say. To the best of my knowledge, CRC is the only supplier of same said. When GM still made them, they were even more than $900. And CRC, while pretty good, is not as good as GM was.
There have been a few used ones listed at places like Vettenuts and Dino's, but even good used is 20 years old, and the factory PSA is gone. You might find NOS on EBay or similar, but I haven't seen one there in quite some time now.
For what it's worth, Marc at Vettenuts has been the best source for CRC weatherstrips I have found -- $750, which isn't chicken feed, but is still $150 less then $900:

Thank you for this information as well. Just had front windshield replaced on my 1999 C5 and looking for the part.

The glass shop didn’t replace the seal and lots of wind noise and water leaks now.

Thanks!
