Re: Really. Not liking the aftermarket.

x2 ^^^. The standard window seals are also offered. Maybe not by Counterpart. And when it comes to window seals I go with Precision, no matter who I buy them from.

It's true, many aftermarket parts are not up to snuff. And it sucks to put "overseas" parts on your truck from back when America made great stuff. But the overseas part is a concern across the consumer product spectrum and the way it is in 2018. I remember when you couldn't buy a new part for these trucks unless it was still available from GM. That is when I discovered the wonderful world of N.O.S. But with computer searching coming along, it didn't take long for the big guys to snatch that up. I remember as each thing became unavailable right along with the introduction of more and more reproduced stuff. I don't need perfect and go with used OEM all I can. But I'm glad there is such strong aftermarket support for these trucks. It sucks when the part is less than adequate, many are adequate, and many are damn nice!
