Looking for less expensive weatherstripping
HI.
My 2005 XK8 convertible rear window no longer seals against the top of the door window. It appears that a replacement weatherstrip might solve the problem, but the least expensive short piece of rubber I have been able to find is over $240. A similar one in my Cutlass convertible is $10 and they look almost the same. Is there an aftermarket vendor who supplies some at a reasonable price. I would like to also replace the strips between the top and window while I am at it but that is over a grand for 3 feet of rubber. Thanks in advance for any tips.
OR if there is a way to adjust the angle of the rear window that would be even better!

The window is adjustable if that is the only problem. I know there have been posts on this, but if you cannot find it let us know and we'll find it for you.
