Thicker, but yet too stretchy. When you slide the oem seal in place, you can feel the lip lock into the grove on the shaft, where on the aftermarket one it slides right past. If it was just a better grade rubber it probably would work.
The O-ring idea like I have pictured did work at first, but it didn't stay. The shrink wrap I think would have worked. I slid it down past the edge in the same position as the o-ring was but the heat that it took to shrink it, ruined the already crappy rubber. That's when I put the original ones on & realized they are soooo much better
