. We installed to the best of our ability, and the doors wouldn't close. We tried rehanging the doors, which helped, but didn't solve our problem. We've tried repositioning the rubber, regluing, shoving harder, etc. to no avail. Here's a link to an album with some hopefully helpful pictures:

It's been in the box for some time now maybe a year. Is it the same useless stuff from LMC or useless from overseas, etc. I have the anti-rattle kit and the rubber for the vent windows as well. Send it all back?

Anti-rattle kit seems o.k.; but the Obsolete door rubbers I purchased were (and are) just like the description of the LMC's. I like both vendors, but am finally realizing there is a definite advantage to supporting the vendors who have "been there, done that", and stand behind their products. The cheaper pricing is not so cheap when I will have to start over with a quality product!bird55 wrote:ok, before I learned so much from this forum, I bought a set of seals and door rubbers from Obsolete Auto in OK city.

The quality parts usually do have good prices. It is the general perception of a good price that is flawed. Which would you prefer? A part that costs $200, lasts 20 years, and is a relative breeze to install, or a part that costs $50, is a pain in the a$$ to install and rots in a couple years and so needs to be replaced every 2-3 years? Not saying that everything is like this, but for the most part, it is the difference between the cheap budget part, and the expensive quality part.fire truck wrote:It would be great if there was place that sold quality resto parts for good prices....
I didn't say cheap, I said good. I buy quality stuff and don't mind paying more for good stuff that will last, I don't need a lesson or a test to know that.charliemccraney wrote:The quality parts usually do have good prices.

A test, tell me, which one is the better price?
