Repair weatherstrip question

Is there a cheap way to fix the single long piece of leaking weather strip that runs over the front side window and then around the entire inside of the door, without having to replace the whole thing? The lowest price i've found so far for a new replacement is about $220. Thanks.

The only thing I can think of is to probably remove the windshield and have a glass company make you a new weatherstrip for the windshield because you cannot buy them from Subaru.

Re: Repair weatherstrip question

Has anyone ever tried this stuff for inexpensive weatherstrip repairs around a leaky passenger side window? There seeem to be 4 choices, but i don't know which ones to order. Their agent said i would have to determine which ones i need. Here is the link to the items the agent recommended:
