I found a place on E-bay that sells this for $25 shipped. This kit consists of 4 rolls of material for each side of the car - (2) rolls of 1/8"x7/8" black poly foam to seal between the weatherstrip channel and the roof, - (2) rolls of 1/16"x3/4" dark gray soft foam with adhesive to seal the weatherstrip channel to the drip rail. Is this what everyone uses or isn't it necessary? Are there any better places to buy them? Could I just use some seam sealer for this area? As always thanks for any help you can give me.

Save some money and use home foam insulation tape. You can find the exact size, thickness, material at lowes/home depo. Works beautifully.
