I was racing around trying to find a front seal for a Super  a month ago - $250 was about the best I could do from the usual suspects (although sedan seals are scarcer than coupe seals it seems).  I agree they seem pretty expensive, even including tooling up costs for a small run of them...

If you have a little time up your sleeve - Have a look online at Alfaholics / Centerline et al - much cheaper even with shipping...

Highwood and Classic Alfa in the UK both list 105 Series screen rubbers for $70 plus shipping.

Slightly more attractive price than the local equivalent.

I bought mine from Classic Alfa cost is about $70 each AUD and shipping is 24 - 34 pounds about $ 37 - 52 ish AUD

I paid 34 pounds for shipping but that included a roof lining kit and a boot seal.

I've got a set of repro Alfaholics front and rear screen units and also a set of NOS ones arriving shortly.

I'll compare the two and advise what the differences are if any - that is if anyone is interested.

I bought front and back screen rubbers for my berlina from Tony McCone in Windsor, NSW. they were $130 each, had the groove in them for the trim and they fitted just fine.
