Best price and place to buy window channel?

Ok like most of our 7's the window channel, window gaskets, and the door seals are trashed. I have replaced my door seals with the set off of ebay for $60 and man they made a huge difference. I have new window seals for the car sitting in the tool box so when the car gets the paint job I can change those.
My problem is now where to find the window channel?

Post where to buy it and the price.


Mazdatrix is $51.73 each

My cost at mazda is $39.63 each

so want to know if there is a cheaper place to get tham as I need to get 4 to do two 7's.

I bought my door seals from 1AAutomotive, off eBay. I dont know if they sell the channels, but it's worth a shot.
