Anyone have a good source for a rear glass seal?
Not really wanting to pay through the nose on this one.

Any recommendations?

FWIW, the one I got recently via Black Dragon was in fact Mazda OEM, so source choice seems to be more a matter of convenience versus cost.

90% of the parts for these cars comes from Mazda Japan, so we can eliminate different vendors, and just shop on price, and in that case the fewer middlemen the better.

in this case its Mazda Japan -> Mazda USA -> local dealership -> you

vs

Mazda Japan -> Mazda USA -> local dealership -> black dragon -> you.
