Ive used LMC for a variety of makes and models in my shop and have always had good success with the fit of rubber and window channels.

there chrome stuff is a bit cheap looking though. Then again unless youre chrome is OEM it always looks a little cheap.

dennis carpenter, LMC, auto fit, certi fit, are all getting there parts from the same manufacturer when getting an overseas part.

Dennis carpenter has some ford molds but a lot of there stuff is made in china like everyone else. youll have to ask where they got the part from before buying from them because they are more expensive.

FYI all batteries that are brought into the united states are made from the same manufacturing plant and just have there names put on them.
same with oil filters. They are made at the same plant and just has different names and cover placed on them.
A cheap fram is the same as a cheap purolator. And a top of the line oil filter is the same between brands as well. You pay more for the name not the products.
I learned this from a commercial sales manager working for checker schucks cragen a few years ago. I thought it was pretty interesting.
