Default Weatherstripping for 2000 XK8

I am looking for a source of the convertible frame weatherstripping parts HJG7778AA/HJG7789AA the top of the door window goes into. There are alot of dealers that sell it for $265 each, some that offer a discount down to $214 each. It just seems that a piece of rubber weatherstripping should not cost over $200. I have searched eBay and Google to know avail. Has anyone found these from an alternate source?

Default Avoid parts.com for Jaguar parts

I finally decided to order the convertible frame weatherstripping from parts.com as they provided pricing at 15% off full retail. I placed the order, waited a week and went to check on the order. Without any notice to me, they had cancelled the order and suggested I go to their partner site where I could buy them for full retail. They did leave a note in their own message center, but no email to me, even though they had sent the order confirmation to me via email. At the end it seems like a bait and switch...so, still looking for weatherstripping.

I just type the part # into the browser and the search results show most of the availability. This is the first of your part numbers:

you're best bet, as I did this last year looking for a small section of weatherstripping for my vert, is to either use JPAM (jaguar/porsche) in las vegas, or calling Nalley Jaguar in Atlanta, both are forum sponsors, and you can't beat a dealer part price anywhere on the net...i've tried believe me. If you call nalley, ask for Dan or Steve, and mention jaguarforums membership for a %15 discount and free shipping of $25 or more. $210 is what I spent for my small section.
