Rear section $ 99
Front (luggage rack) section $ 39
California Imports, Burnaby, BC (CDN prices)
I think West Coast Metric carries similar in the US.

I bought the above seal in March, with aluminum clips. Installed 
without glue since I planned on removing to repaint the top. (used a 
bit of 3M sealant at front joins only). Clips hold very tightly, so 
glue probably isn't needed. Better than OEM due to rust proof 
construction, although rubber probably not quite as good.
