Default OEM seals and moldings

I'm in the process of getting my car painted but have a couple of problems. I need to get some OEM seals to replace my old worn out ones. Some of the ones I need are the one around the sunroof panel, the one in the bottom of back windshield close to the trunk lid(seems like all 4th gens have this one worn out) and the ones on the roof that are along the door.

So far, I've been looking for these parts at http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and they seem to have good prices compared to other sites. Does anyone know where I might get these seals for cheaper? They are kind of pricey for just freaking being some damn pieces of rubber. Well, if anyone can lend a helping hand I would appreciate that. TYA

are you replacing these moldings because they are torn somewhere
or because they look faded?

when i got my car painted, i had to replace quite a few of my moldings
and if you pull all of the moldings around the doors, be careful because
some of them tend to rip easily, you'll need to replace the belt molding clips
because they break off when when you remove the mldg.
this is if you're doing the prep work yourself
i would call honda, tell'em you work for a dealership and see if
they can give you wholesale price

i took my car apart and did not break any clips. the belt molding is easy to pop off the only one u need to replace is the front window molding unless you take it easy when takeing it off like i did

take another look at your clips, in the center of the clip,
there is supposed to be a square piece if plastic,
i bet your's is missing, see if your molding will pop back on
