Best brand for Door seals

My door seals are only about a year old, but super-soft to the point of being flimsy, and even after having to glue them on, they still continue to come off in places....very cheaply made. I finally got PO'd last time I drove the truck (upon getting out the drivers seal fell off from the top and tried to choke me ), so I yanked the whole thing off with one massive yank and threw it into the closest dumpster. Therefore I need to replace them both, but would like to hear some opinions on some that are of good quality....at this point cost isn't an issue...I think you pretty much get what you pay for with this stuff.

TIA!

Thanks! Do you have a website, vendor, or more information? Google search for "Precision seals", "Precision Rubber seals", etc. is only turning up home improvement type stuff.

Re: Best brand for Door seals

For door seals, use S-10 seals, or Dodge Dakota. They are press-on, no gluing, and work fantastic. Precision are the best for windshields.

3M Weatherstrip Adhesive, AKA "SuperSnot" or "Gorilla Snot" [not to be confused with the Swedish wood glue] is what we used to use.

http://www.gmcpauls.com/ I have the GMC Paul's press on seals. Took a while for them to break in, but they seal great and install was a snap.
