I got rubber replacements in hopes that they won't get brittle and break off like my original plastic ones.

I got the plastics in hope that the wouldn't rip apart and become a nuisance like my original rubber ones. :3

So Navy and Anni, to give this new member some help, how long have you had the seals on your cars and how are each holding up?

Re: T-top drip seals

I just got my plastic ones last summer. And they are doing a fine job. The original rubber ones were so terrible sometimes they would sag and get stuck in the door. I was so tired of this I decided to just rip the buggers off and wait until I could get the plastic ones. I don't see these plastic ones ever becoming bad or having any of the same issues the rubber ones had.

Re: T-top drip seals

I just put the plastic ones on a month ago, and its nice being able to shut the door without the window catching on the old rubber ones that had torn from catching all the time.

They're both made very well, and will last quite a while.
