$1.99-2.99 at andersons.
Not sure where you need it but I fixed my door and hatch leaks with cheap home weather striping. I just put it over top of the stock stuff. I use then 1/4-1/2in thick strip sticky backing stuff.
I even made a new hood seal for it with some larger stuff.
Its not even noticable. And got ride of all the air leaks.

andersons is like a farm n fleet store or tractor supply company. Everything all in one store but with the farmer handy man touch.
YOu can find weather stripping anywhere.

Or you can do it the right way and spend the cash. Seems like you need t-top weatherstripping judging by the price. You can get it for $190 or so plus shipping from gmpartsdirect.com. It'll be around $230 shipped to your door. The door weather stripping is $90 each from the same place and as far as i can tell the hatch weather stripping is discontinued from GM. There are of course cheaper lesser quality options. 1AAuto.com carries complete weather stripping for our cars.

Depending on when you need it don't count out eBay- I just snagged the t-top GM set from a guy for $125 shipped. Its the same part # as the set from GMpartsdirect.com. Maybe I got lucky- but like I said, if you don't need it right away you can always keep an eye out.
Pretty good timing for me too, had just ripped out my old headliner last weekend- time to clean out all the rust from 20+ years of leaking!

gm restoration parts or gm parts direct for the t-top weatherstripping. I bought soffseal for the rear hatch and the door weatherstripping. I was happy with the prices and the quality and fit of the soffseal products. THe GM t-top kit was awesome on the quality and fit.
