door seal

I would like to replace the door seals on my 1996 F150 XLT, regular cab. Does anyone have a vendor they can recommend?
How about these from RockAuto:

RockAuto Door seal

I would like quality parts, not something that will last six months.

Thanks,
Terry

I bought a set from Bronco Graveyard about a year ago. It took a few months before the door would shut all the way without slamming it hard, but it has never leaked since I put them in.

Thanks for the reply Fastback, did you get the $100 pair or the $20 single seal?

If they are in good condition otherwise just run some thick rope through them and this will give better closure. Cheaper than a replacement set.

I got the $100 pair even though I only needed one at the time. So now I have a spare for when the other side starts leaking. And IIRC the $100 set were OEM and the $20 single one was not.

I've also used the clear surgical tubing from Lowes in our other truck. It worked pretty good for me, it's been over a year and it hasn't really compressed much.
