Victoria British has them...I think they are around $50 or $60 per door. I don't think you'll find them any cheaper.

Yea, I just checked my catalog, and they have them for $50 per door. My catalog is a year old though. Mazdatrix has them for $69 per door.

Here you go. I have the ones he sells on my GSL-SE and they work great. For the first 3 months I had to shut the door hard but now it is ok. Looking at doing the window channel next.


$55.00 for the set

Yep, I have a set of the eBay ones, and they work great, except fitment on the right door, nothing streching couldn't take care of. For $55 bucks, it's a great deal. If you think that's expensive, wait till you buy outter window seals! = )

Try vasoline next time.

IAAutomotive also has carpet. Much better than the VB stuff.
