usa
i'm a yank, and my folks are coming out at the end of september, with a bag full of presents!! I ordered direct from West Coast Metric in the USA,
have a look on their website and look at the prices in US dollars and get an idea of what they local supplier has to pay. I paid 1400 australian for
all rubbers including front door handle rubbers and head liner and few other odds and ends. when i called around here i was given estimates of
between 1200-1600 just for the rubbers, i worked out that i saved about 300-400 australian dollars ordering directly. I am a businessman my self and
I have no problems with the percentage mark ups here in australia. I would suggest that you look for shops that are in locals that have low
overhead(ie rent) and/or have a high turnover that may allow them to get bulk prices and reduce shipment costs. Front door 1/4 window rubbers are
expensive though.

Good quality rubbers are expensive, no two ways about it. As SS said, checkout the WCM website
http://www.westcoastmetric.com/ as it will probably be cheaper to import
yourself.
As an alternative try a website called "brazil shopping" which was mentioned on a post a while ago. Brazilian stuff generally isn't as good
quality, so it may not fit as well or last as long, but it will probably be cheaper.
Ain't nothin' like the wind in your hair.
