Seal opinions?

Hey, I was woundering about the quality of aftermarket seals and gaskets.
Several manufacturers are out there and was currious if they are generaly of good quality.

I'm refering to door, window, and like. Not engine parts.

For body rubber, that made by Dennis Carpenter has been considered the best for years.

Only purchase from DC when it comes to window gaskets, seals, weatherstrip, etc., I have had to throw other aftermarket kits away.

Ill order from Dennis Carpenter then. His stuff is only an average of $10 more. Good quality and fit is better then junk.

Thanks.

May be slightly more but made to fit and find less labor intensive installing. Seems within last week another member somewhat frustrated with set of aftermarket door seals and was asking for advice, believe he ended up throwing them out and going with DC. I have been there.
