Anyone know where I can find weatherstripping?

The subject says it all. I think mine needs to be replaced because it's hard and dried out and my window struggles to close properly.

The stripping for each side is one piece. It starts at the front below the mirror, heads up and splits to go down between the windows and out to the end of the rear door.
You can get it from the dealer, but I think it's about 100 - 120 a side.
Try the junkyards.

They're expensive.
Also, the straight pieces to either side of the windshield are ~35 apiece. For about 2' of rubber, it's $35. I just made new seals with silicon........

This is on the driver's side of the windshield between the windshield itself and the trim piece.
I made a new seal with basic black silicon bought at my local Pep Boys. I just ran a bead down the length of the windshield and ran my finger (with a nitrile glove on) along it to give it the right shape.
It was rather messy, so once it was fully dried and cured, I went back with a razor blade and scraped off the excess.
If I were to do it again, I would just run a piece of masking tape where I wanted the cutoff to be, and pull off the tape while it was still wet. That way, I wouldn't have to go back later to trim it up and make it look pretty.
