Quality of reproduction rubber parts-Your thoughts.

[chevybill]

I recently intalled my flaming river steering column. I used a new rubber grommet for the hole where the column goes through the cab from chevy duty. It appears the grommet angle is not correct and the top of the gasket does not want to stay in place with the column installed.

Anyone had a similar experience? Is this typical of rubber products from the aftermarket (china)? I had let this grommet sit in the hole in the firewall for quite some time before installing the column and it still does not want to stay in place.
