Their not OEM,but a lot of members seem to like them,I purchased mine from 1A. From what I here don't get the OER brand,they don't fit right for some reason.I got the Metro Brand but they sell other brands also (Soft Seal,Fairchild)
You should contact them and see what package deal they can offer you.

Re: Body Seal kits

I agree with 666 soft seal , i just got mine . perfect . take the extra time and remove all the pcs the strip snaps into and either strip them and re paint , or very least make sure there are NO remnants of the old seal stuck in there . some people complain about doors closing hard after soft seal install . in my opinion thats an even better reason to get them . after install , leave the heat at full for a few hrs to get proper breal in . also spray some crc silicone on a rag and wipe them down . this kit comes with hatch seal door rails door rubber and hood strip uoter window seals . you will need to get inside sweeps seperate . soft seal is a little pricy but you get what you pay for .

Re: Body Seal kits

I think you should do alright with Soffseal, Metro and OEM.
Just stay away from OER. It is a confusing name that makes you think that they are somehow made by the original manufacturer but in reality they are junk.
I used Soffseal for the t tops and I was happy with them.
I used Fairchild for the door seals and thought they were good too.
