Hans, the "big three" in the USA sell an aftermarket seal that you cut to
fit. I bought mine a year ago for about $70 US.
Installation tips: start your installation at the upper rear of each
door. Don't stretch the seal, in fact, leave a "bow" of excess material
sticking up about an inch (25 MM) along each of the three sides. You will
seat the bowed portion when all is done, to prevent pulling and gaps due to
temperature changes later. At the top of the windshield, put the top
(hood) up to see how far the seal must go to fill in any gap before cutting.
