Default Door Seal Question

Hi
wondering if I’m mistaken but it looks like door seals are much lower in cost than previous years
Pelican has the German ones for 119 US and OEM is $86
Part https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_In...=643&DID=16676
the part number seems different but they is the right one?

Does anyone know if this seal is correct or did I not get enough sleep?

kindly
glenn

Long story short, they discontinued the original 964/993 seals, which were smooth on the surface (964.xxx part number) with seals slightly smaller in girth, which were used on older 911's (911.xxx part number) and have a ribbed surface. They work but don't "appear" correct if that matters to you.

Some people prefer some of the aftermarket offerings of the 964 part number.
