window rubber............made in Brazil??

I have a 69 chevy truck that I am about to install new front and rear glass on. The installer says get the GM approved that are made in Brazil. He said all others are hard to deal with.
He does not have a source. Do any of you know of a source or at least know what works or what to stay away from?

We use/install and sell Precision brand weatherstrip and don't have problems. You get what you pay for in weatherstip. Its made in TW but has great quality. Binswagers glass has been around since 1946 and they use it and reccomended it to us.

Brazilian rubber wont have any felt / fur around the lips..usually real clean & smooth looking. ..

I agree on the part numbers they are too many letters. But you get used to them after awhile
