good day, just sharing a bit of info i found out the hard way regurding cheaper"off shore "rubber parts for my s/c restro. i ordered all new parts for the doors windows ect and had to replace the "door anti rattlers" and the"cowl laceing" with dennis carpenter peices as the steel used for the clips to fasten these parts seem "too soft" and bent when trying to install the pass side was the one that screwed up and now that the good parts are there i may replace the drivers side as well as you can tell the difference [window seems very stiff to roll up and down] like the part is too thick and the cowl laceing is soft rubber rather than hard plastic that wont straighten out the windsheild and rear window seal worked but then again a harder material regurds joe
I have not used anything yet (truck is still at the painter). From everyone's experiences on fitment of rubber parts, should I not use these and buy from DC (i've already spent my fair share of $$$ there)?? Is DC weatherstripping that much better? Anybody have some pics of certain part, import vs DC? I'd spend the money if it's worth it but some of the latest trim parts I"v bought from DC are also made in China or Taiwan. I've heard they are out sorcing more parts all the time rather than being made in good ol USA. Any insight is appreciated! Thanks
