    LOTS of discussion on this topic and, for once, there seems to be what passes for a consensus around here: The factory seals are almost always superior to aftermarket. Your dealer is your friend in this case.

    Agreed. I went with factory everything. Only dissatisfaction is the door seals which don't have the bump at the leading edge where the wind whistle comes from. Easy to plop some dum dum in there and accomplish the same thing.

    There is no universal answer here as it may vary from seal to seal. International Mercantile makes some nice stuff but, again, there seems to be broad agreement that the factory seals are the way to go.
