weatherstrip questions?

Who do you guys use for aftermarket rubber. Who makes a good quality part? I need the Vent window rubber, and the window track piece where the window meets the door at the top.

Vent window rubber from LMC is ok. But don't bother with the door rubber from them.

you can't go wrong with Dennis Carpenter. He uses the original tooling, so you know it is going to fit.

Denis Carpenter 110%, I have screwed around with the other stuff and it is not worth it, spend the extra for the good stuff and skip the frustrations.

Do not buy LMC rubber.

The DC stuff from Tom costs very little more than the cheap LMC that doesn't fit right.

LMC Door and vent windows rubbers could'nt close the doors without slamming them

and could'nt close the vents

- torn them out and replaced them with dennis carpenter's weatherstripping

so much better

That's where my stuff came from. Haven't installed it yet but am feeling pretty good about now!

Good to know. I thought someone said they where OK, guess I was wrong. (wouldn't be the first time)

sounds like LMC and MACs sell the same crap rubber.

the door gasket had to slammed to death, the vent gaskets were so sticky one of the windows broke....

now the vent rubber is all cracked to death, it was going bad within 5 years.
