inner window felt- what do you use?

[vintage_car]

Is there any good alternatives to the inner window felt strip for our cars? It is $60 each at bmw...I about had a heart attack for 2 pieces of felt... Maybe someone has had a successful DIY they would like to share.

229 is an integer that falls between 228 and 230.

I've added some helpful images below.

It's possible, however, that these folks are referring to

Door weatherstrip inner 51 21 6 454 229
