That one has not been on long enough to tell anything Jeff. Was put on about 8 months ago. Hard to say what will happen to it over time. The original had long crumbled and I removed only the remnants of it. And the Aluminum pad portion was most of that which still remained of the old one on there when I cleaned it up.

I suspect most of the ones made these days are not near as good as the originals where. They probably all are made in China I fear.
