Default Who has the best fit weatherstripping?

Found a drop or three during a torrential downpour a couple weeks ago.
Looks like a new set of rubbers around the window are in order.
Not sure who has the best, anyone have any suggestions for an 04 coupe.

Mine has minor leaks too, I think it's the trunk. I understand some pieces are no longer available, so I'm interested to see what others know as well.

Unless your seals are visibly torn or falling apart, I would start by applying a thin layer of dielectric grease to them. This not only helps to recondition them and keep them soft and pliable, but also helps to keep the water out better. Give it try. It is MUCH cheaper and easier than replacing the seals. You'll be surprised how well it works.

I have man, and you're right, it works wonders, but it's time.

If I wait any longer then it might be a real issue getting them so I'm just trying to replace them now. Just wondering what brand has the best fitment/quality.
