Any ideas where I can get the best quality and price for windshield rubber and door seals for my 85 C 10? Thanks

Option 1 - OEM GM - online OEM vendors.
Option 2 - Softseal - better quality but more expensive.
Don't buy cheap "imported" seals like I did.

Thanks for the input! What do you think about LMC products?

I bought a complete door to cab kit from ebay for mine and the vent window weather stripping was a bout a year old but it was already cracked and leaking

I have no experience with LMC rubber, but I suspect they are "imported", non- OEM, like many of their other products. Sometimes LMC is the only source for a particular item, but not in this case. If you want OEM online vendors I can list them here.

I don't know if all of these vendors have OEM rubber, but you should check them all. I always check these plus Amazon and Ebay (OEM only) when I am looking for parts. Some of these vendors have free shipping (e.g. over $25, $50, $100 etc.).
autopartstomorrow.com
oewarehouse.com
oehq.com
rockauto.com (look for OEM, can often get GM part numbers)
gmpartsdirect.com (careful - prices are low but shipping is high)

Once you have the GM part number, you can google that part number and often find online dealerships with old stock for sale at good prices. I have purchased OEM GM part numbers from Amazon a few times at best prices - most recently an OEM fan clutch.

I got all the door and window seals from Classic parts. I think the boxes said india, but the parts fit pretty decently...they've only been in 6 months, but so far so good. Putting window and door seals made a HUGE difference...now rain doesn't come in, and I don't have that annoying whistle on the freeway.

I got my windshield seal right from GM dealer 4 weeks ago. $150.00. Don't know about the doors but will ask dealer when I'm ready for them.
