Karen,

I replaced the one on my '86 four or five years ago with one from Bus Depot. Looked kind of cheesy, and seemed too stiff/thick for a little while, but it soon broke in and it's lasted very well, with no signs of deterioration, and it seals perfectly. I was carefull cutting the flat strip and the edge seal so they mated close, then sealed the cracks with black silicon RTV and it looks as good as factory.
