My car came without any. What's the current situation? What brand? What dealer? Thanks.

I've generally found the door and roofrail repro offerings piss poor, either they get the profile wrong or if the profile is correct, the durometer is rock hard, either way nothing allows the doors to close properly or seal adequately, can't tell you how many mfg's I've tried and usually the stuff all ends up in the can!....I always look for NOS or good used original for these items, esp B body....

Wow. I'm glad I very carefully removed my halfway decent original ones....maybe I won't bother trying to order repros if they are that horrible. Thanks for the info.
