Ok, looking at many of the different venders, some have 2 different levels and some have 3 levels of quality. What are the difference and where does the CRC (Willcox) fall into this?

Indeed I have... lol... I remove other brands all the time and replace them with CRC. I have a rack full of removed other brand weatherstrips... it is the only brand I will install in my shop.

Corvette Rubber Company (CRC) makes about the best there is. Skip everything else and you won't have to fret over comparisons.

I looked at the Corvette Rubber Company site but with the Willcox promotion there parts are the best price. I just placed my order with Willcox.

I heard the 'newer' option out there is soo stiff it causes probs with opening/closing the doors etc... I'd stick with the good stuff guys have mentioned above... At least that's my plan when I tackle that project...

Don't cheap out on weatherstripping. The cheap stuff doesn't fit right.

Got my from the good fellas at Zip and it fit great. I have not compared it to others, but I live in Mechanicsville where they are located and felt if there was a problem, I could run up and talk with them. They stand behind all their stuff too.
