Default Coupe door seal

Does anyone know where to find good deals on coupe door seals (driver side)? I've been looking at them and find it ridiculous that they are $200+. Any cheaper sources would be appreciated.

Has anyone determined whether this is a different part for the 993 versus the earlier 911's? The doors are the same...maybe the seal is?

I used the 911 part an it fits fine. The difference is that it has ridges when the 993 is smooth. As far as I can tell, it sealed fine. No wind noise or water coming in.

Put me down for a right hand seal as well. 964 seals are a lot cheaper and fit both left & right doors.

As others have pointed out the 993 door is identical to 964 but the model change produced a left and right seal that I think is thicker.

Actually the 911 part # is thicker. As stated earlier the 993 seal is smooth and flat where the 911 seal is ridged and more rounded.

I purchased one of abt's old ones and it was the 911 part # (so was the part number on the bag it was shipped in if that helps explain the price he got), fit's right in but the difference is the door takes a little extra effort to close and springs open a little more than before, this may go away with a little time in the car.

For the money I don't know which one I would buy if I were replacing with new, depends on the car and owner I guess.
