I have bought a seal for my 944 tailgate off ebay today for £18 inc free post and it is better than the original one that I had.
It comes in meter lengths so 5 meters is the size (with a little left over) eBay item number:331749593984 and at that price is considerably cheaper than other places that I have looked.
 
That's a good price, it works out less than half the cost of an OEM item which I think is around £45. The OEM seal has an end piece that joins together for a seamless fit of both ends. That could maybe be re-used from the old one I wonder, or was it bonded to the seal..?
 
The OEM seal has gooey stuff inside it which prevents water ingress. It is likely a seal without this will not be as water tight. The gooey stuff prevents capillary action water ingress. I researched this before replacing my seal and the consensus was OEM was best.
