The ones from LMC are fine. They wont leak. Just a little flimsy when compaired to OE. Dont know about the ones from DC. They might be better.
Ive been told that all of the aftermarket ones are the same and dont need to be as heavy as OE because thier made of better material.
I guess they hold thier shape better and dont squash over time.

Ot looks to be pretty good quality. I don't have it installed yet, though.

I bought mine from Autozone. It came in a roll and wasn't pre-molded to the shape of the door so I had to glue it in. It was the exact shape as OE but I think it's thicker. It's harder to close the door all the way and harder to open the door when it does get closed all the way. It's a very tight fit.

I believe I bought the entire rubber kit from DC. As Joe said, you have to slam the door to make it shut. I am upset at the quality though, the gas filler grommet and vent wing seals are getting a little dried and cracked after a year. Tip; Rubber cement and 3/M weather stripping adheasive are the same and get a can of silicone paste or spray for installation.

mine came from a '95 f150. no glue required. You just have to tweek it some at the bottom where the sill plate goes.

I GOT MINE FROM LMC. DIDN'T RELIZE I NEEDED ADHESIVE TO INSTALL IT. IT WON'T STAY IN PLACE WITHOUT IT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER CAULKED THE OLD STUFF IN!! WHAT A NIGHTMARE TRYING TO REMOVE ALL THAT CLEAR CAULK.

There's an old kid's camp song about "when Johnnie put the paper on the wall",and how he got wallpaper glue "on the hall,on us all and even on gramma's shawl"...Anyway,that's what it seemed like I was doing with that black 3m adhesive---I got that stuff everywhere,inluding a little bit where I intended to..I desperately need some for my current ride---I saw some stuff sold by the roll with a 'snap-metal' way of installing---but it won't work...Can I just buy new w/s'ing for a '95 or so and install it on my truck?
