Non-OEM window seals have a reputation for leaking. I'll be finding out soon, as I bought front and rear windsheild gaskets off eBay, couldn't resist $32 each!
If they leak, they probably won't be any worse than the ones in there (the front leaks down the inside), so I will then have to get the original. So far, they LOOK correct, but we will see how they actually fit. Peter

i'm also giving the non OEMs a try... for less than half the price i don't really have much to lose.

I put a new aftermarket front windshield seal in my 57 Chevy and it leaked pretty bad till I got a tube of butyl rubber caulk and just pookied the crap out of it. Hasn't leaked since. I caulked both between seal and glass and seal and body.

I just did a new windshiled, and front and rear window seals/gaskets. The front is a Bilstein part, the rear non-OE. Both look great, and are leak-free so far.
Now, just have to do those sunroof seals, and I'll no longer be driving a wheeled aquarium... JAS
