I've always used Dennis Carpenter's. They are the one of the original Bronco parts reproducers. I've had problems not from quality, but the original poor design. I've used black silicone as adhesive instead of contact adhesive. Takes longer to set and it is permanent. If you try to remove it it will tear. But it won't come loose.

I'm a fan of Dennis Carpenters products which are sold by several venders. Dennis Carpenter is an American company that leases and maintains the Ford extrustion dies and stamps for rubber and metal parts, producing OEM quality parts, not asian repops, that being said they are a little more costly. Some have complained that thier door seals are to large, making the doors hard to shut, I liked the firm shutting, and lack of noise from wind and rattle. Buy American, its never been more important then now.
