Should I get this weatherstripping kit?

I'm looking for a complete ttop weatherstripping kit (seals for the whole car) and was set on buying the kit from 1aauto but I couldn't afford to pay the $400 shipping charge to Canada so I looked elsewhere and came across this kit from a company on ebay. The price for this one and the 1aauto one is roughly the same but the shipping on this one is significantly cheaper. Anyone have any feedback on this kit? I know there's some brands that people say to stay away from and I want to make sure this isn't one of them http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1982-1992-TRA...abd79d&vxp=mtr

yeah I was pretty choked, it's also due to the customs too which was $150. I bit the bullet and bought the ebay set, fingers crossed all goes well

ask if its soft seal as they are one of the best fitting and best made. I had them in my 85 and the t-top seals where better then factory. I have them on my doors and hatch now and they seal super tight
