That sounds like a good deal for someone. I went through this recently, and
ended up getting them from GoWesty since I needed some other items that
only they had in stock, and wanted to minimize shipping. I took pics of the
seals, and will try to post them soon. I compared them with the OEM seal
which was removed. The only other seal I have used is from CIP1.com,
which I bought 8-9 years ago, and it didn't come with the flat piece.
Otherwise, the large rear section appears identical. The GoWesty luggage
rack section uses a smaller round "bulb" than the rear piece, whereas the
CIP seal was all the same type.

ok, here are the pics, 2 of them in this folder:
