Mike,
Call your local dealership tomorrow and check the price for the complete 
weatherstrip set for a "modern" car, say a PT Cruiser, or a convertible Mustang... 
no, I have no idea how much they are, but I don't think $250 would come 
close.... I remember quoting a weatherstrip PIECE for a guy with a convertible '92 
Geo Metro... he just wanted the piece right above the windows (this was about 
3+ years ago when I was at the Chevy dealership)... the price was around $70 
each... even though rain was rolling inside the car, he said "thats too 
much"... for a 20 inch long piece of rubber, well, that was the best price I could 
give him.... they soon discontinued the pieces about 2 months later... he came 
in, wanting to buy them, and they were ALL gone... talk about one angry 
fella....
Just something to consider...
Let's hope Joe's story has a happier ending!
Later,
Lonzo
