Nice comparison. It all boils down to the plyability of the rubber. OEM is OEM and you can't beat that. However, many aftermarket parts are just as good as you found out. One over the other is a crap shoot sometimes, but it looks like LMR has stepped it up a bit. I do like DC's vent holes, which help the air dissipate easier when closing. As I mentioned before, I like the split in the door seal more toward the bottom. It allows moisture captured to escape, and just looks athestically better to see a nice constant flow upon opening the door. jmo.
Yes sir! There is a lot of crap shoot with parts these days and aftermarket. The Foxresto door to body weatherstripping has really improved over the past six years.
It will be getting painted at Capitol Auto. We did a paint job in our backyard because of getting burn in the pass by autobody in Chicago. We will see how this go. Here is the link and play list to that backyard paint job. I thought to myself after all the time I have been ripped off by body shops in Illinois, what could go wrong if I just did one in my backyard with harbor freight spray gun. th-cam.com/video/jF_cnQ-C45M/w-d-xo.html
Good video, good info. I've experienced this issue before after replacing door seals, don't remember where I got my door seals from. More than likely it was 50resto.
Yes sir! We saw online in our foxbody mustang groups that people have had the same experience in the past. The material, hard rubber that 5.0Resto used in the past six years ago was the cause of the problem. Even though they were $9.00 cheaper than the DC door to body weatherstripping at the time, 5.0Resto material was not good 7 years ago. 5.0Resto have improved with time and their door to body molding are now fitting well like Daniel Carpenter door to body molding. We just wanted to see since we had the old Foxresto on our door for seven years and door could still not close well.
Saul is the best 👌
Thank you brother.

Loving the mustang passion!
Just wondering what's the status of the Trans Am? Keep on keeping on!!
The Trans AM was put back together and running, engine came back out once again because one of the brand new aftermarket piston ring was defective.
