Apparently Metro is okay from what I've heard. Lots of people swear by the GM ones, but I can't justify the difference in price personally.

Only brand I've heard to stay away from is OER.

GM all the way. The fact that it's lasted 20+ years already, fit perfect, no door closing or window sealing issues, no leaks, etc., says something about the factory stuff.

I don't know - mine leaked from the time I got the car and it was only 7 years old, caused rust issues and heartache. My new Soffseal weatherstrip seems to seal better, and only required minor adjustments because they are slightly thicker. They fit fine, and I now have no leaks. They also cost less.

Big difference in price. What about fit and reliability?
If it wasn't for the shadows i would swear they were the same photo

Both of those kits are really good. We've had good luck with them.
