Karen,

I replaced the one on my '86 four or five years ago with one from Bus
Depot.  Looked kind of cheesy, and seemed  too stiff/thick for a little
while, but it soon broke in and it's lasted very well, with no signs of
deterioration, and it seals perfectly.  I was carefull cutting the flat
strip and the edge seal so they mated close, then sealed the cracks with
black silicon RTV and it looks as good as factory.
