Dennis Carpenter, much better quality. No matter where you go weatherstripping is on the expensive side but you get what you pay for.

I bought the LMC kit, and I can't say I'm happy with it. I may have simply not installed it properly, but the weatherstripping won't stay in place. It seems oversized for the door. The window is also extremely hard to roll up now, to the point of having broken 2 plastic handles.

I also bought the LMC kit. LMC isnt my favorite company but the kit worked fine for me. You have to trim the weather stripping a little and it was hard to roll up the windows at first but once they were broken in a little they worked fine. It was alot better than listening to the windows rattle. Warmer too without air coming through the door.

Perhaps that was my mistake. I didn't realize you'd have to trim them.

I can't comment on the warmer part; I parked mine for the winter. I wasn't sure if I'd keep going on fixing it.
