    cheap sunroof seals?

    Do you guys know where to find cheap sunroof seals? Pelican parts wants 100 bucks for a piece of rubber? that's crazy! Best on ebays like 40 bucks. Why so expensive? and where to get a cheap one?

    Best bet is probably the 1 piece seal.

    Should be around $75 depending on where you find it.

      Make your own if you want it cheap. Everyone out there is trying to make a few bucks.

          Try the convertible hardtop front seals. They are about $700

            $40 seems quite cheap and reasonable. I do agree they are a bit steep but they are also model specific. If you can make one cheaper sign me up. Mine is toast.

              $40 SMH,

              the NON IS front lip was $398 back in the 90's when the cars were newer, lost one of those, had to go back and find it after seeing the price,

              6 months ago the sunroof seals were $150 each piece, you should be happy to pay $40,

                If $40 is too steep you can always use caulk...

                  At $40 don't forget to order the other half ;) I paid $75 for both pieces required 8 months ago.

                        Looking at realoem I thought there were 3 seals so ordered them all. I got a two piece and a one piece and it made more sense to install the single piece so there was only one gap in the seal and it was cheaper than the 2 piece which I sold.
