Default Best side window weatherstripping

Has anyone used these seals and if so what was your opinion of them?

If they're true GM parts as the title suggests listing part #'s then they are likely the best seals available... but since its the parts place they are probably repros, ask the seller what brand they are.

Ive used metro side roof rail seals (hard top car) on a few different cars & they fit/function great, doors will be a little tight closing the first few times but they conform pretty quick with no issues after that.

Or neither, as ad shows. There's plenty of room for improvement on the stock GM seal, when new or the decades old NOS.

Thanks. I used a set years ago (forget the brand) thay we’re ok but not great. Recently I chose a set from a different company others reported to have had luck with and although they’re a significant improvement over the previous set I had the windows still struggle to raise completely with the door closed in contrast to the original seals that were installed when I bought the car. I’ve played with the adjustment and gotten it pretty close but I wondered how these latex ones fit.
