this has probably been discussed before, but ill ask again ...... who makes the better quality quarter window rubbers please ....... i purchased the better auto rubber ones but the fit is crap ........ as in the coverage the rubber has on the outside where the rubber meets the door frame especially on the bottom and corner ........ there is not enough width on this rubber to seal properly and the water will flow in .... any help would be appreciated

I tried Better and Rares and they were both ordinary. Seemed to be a bit short on the straight side.

No rares ones fit well and are different. Hence the $30 price difference.
Recently fitted a set to my UC had no issue were perfect.

update ....... i purchased the rare spare's quarter window rubbers and they where a better fit around the glass ( didnt have to stretch them around the glass ) ....... but coverage on the outside when fitted was just as bad as the better rubber ones ..... both have a terrible gap between the door frame and rubber where they meet at the base in the 90 deg corner ..... i guess im going to have to silicon the gaps ...... thanks to everyone's help

These are my two. I had more issue with the gap in the door belts to the window separator.
Post some photos.
