Anyone want to go in on seals with me?

I need ONE window seal above my passenger door... Of course you can't just buy one, and nobody has popped up with any good used one that I have found.

A1 makes a 4pcs window seal kit with L & R Top and rear window seals

http://www.1aauto.com/1A/Weatherstri...ampaign=1ATony

Wanting to see if anyone wants to go in on some seals? My thought is that I would buy the kit and sell the remaining 3 seals singly or together if there was others that may need a single seal and in the same position I am.

Let me know if you have any interest in the remaining 3 seals. If I can get them spoken for I will order them.

I don't understand why they sell these as kits. I feel like for the price they want for them they could sell individual pieces.

I wish they did, but its marketing. Get to sell 3 extra seals and make more profit by packaging them together. Easier to catolog and track when they are all together I'm sure.

I really don't NEED new ones, and I would rather not have an extra $230 into replacing seals I didn't need. The one I need was damaged not from drying out or rot, but from dragging the top when opening across the corner of the window, so it has a 1" tear. Thought that maybe I could help someone else in my position get a new seal where they may need it like I do.

Re: Anyone want to go in on seals with me?

Don't replace seals just to replace them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did that on my Bronco and the "new" (repo) ones were junk!!!!! They didn't fit the outside of my door correctly and there is now a big gaping water-inviting hole down into my doors X.X

So what did you end up doing? I have a leak on the passenger side and am trying to figure out what seals are good? Think I want to replace all of mine though including the Bow seal.

I have a PM into a guy that posted about that may be selling a single seal, and other than that waiting...
