Repro parts can SERIOUSLY kick your butt. Like door rubber, some of it is so damn hard it doesn't compress and the door won't even shut once you have it aligned and installed.

This is something I need to deal with, I have an NOS GM windshield rubber for my truck that I bought 20 years ago, I will likely have to throw it away because it's so old and likely hardened, but if I do I will do a bunch of homework to find the best stuff out there because it's not easy!
