Rubber: NPD or LMC

Hey guys. For any of you who have bought windshield or rear window gaskets, which supplier is better? I have the rear window that has the slider doors. The frame for it is aluminum.

I have not. But I can tell you I have read numerous guys saying LMC's rubber products stink. Sliders take the same weatherstrip as standard glass.

I just had a new windshield put in my truck, I bought the gasket from NPD. it's really nice and the glass guy was impressed with it. I've read nothing but horror stories about LMC rubber parts breaking down after a year or so.

I had to replace the junk LMC wing window seals on my truck which were only a few years old. I used Dennis Carpenter stuff which is very good but expensive.

Looks like NPD unless I hear of any other place that I'm not aware of from other guys here.
