If it's the same as the Firenza (and I believe it's similar, just a slightly different length) then it's two different profiles - around the window frame, as you said, it slides into a groove in the body of the door, but lower down there are holes in the door body where it clips using small plastic pegs through the rubber. I've often thought something similar (or at least suitable) could be fashioned from continuous strip. Mine are glued in place along the door bottoms because when I removed the rubbers I wasn't very careful and ruined some of the holes. These are available for HB in Australia, I believe, and can be made to fit HC. I know of one person with a Sportshatch, and another with a Firenza, who have fitted these new seals, albeit only to front doors. I think the Firenza write-up is on this forum.
The rubber strip between the top of the door skin and the window glass is quite a straightforward profile, and I think the Woolies link will be useful, or some of the others such as East Kent Trim Supplies or that type of place. The chrome bits will be more difficult - I've never broken a four-door car so while I have the odd one lying around, none of them will fit.
