Default 82 rabbit weatherstripping

I get an awful wind noise through the door seams. It appears that the
door gaskets have gone to hell on my pickup. I have tried timmons,
jcwhitney, motorworks, and adirondack. I cant find the simple rubber
replacements. I DONT want to get taken to the cleaners by the dealer.
Is there generic gasket that would do a good job of blocking the wind?

I have bought those gaskets from the dealer. Nothing beats oem quality
sometimes. So what does the dealer want these days for the gaskets?
How many dealers have you called? Does your parts counter give you a
discount? Does the parts counter respond when you tell them the other
dealer is charging x amount but you don't want to drive over there? I
have seen prices drop with the right attitude on my part and the
counter person.
