    I also followed advice given here to contact George a year or so back....took a year or so to get a reply....be patient Razz

    Restoration Specialties were very responsive once I told them there was a bunch of guys looking for the same things as me Very Happy

    there is an old adage; Fast, cheap or good, pick two.
    If you gotta wait a year, the stuff better be NOS and under a dollar!

    George is the guy that got Restoration Specialties to make the stuff. He is a distributor for them. It's a good company. I've been working with the owner the past year getting seals made for the Econolines. I left a van with them to work off of a year ago. I ll have some of the new seals in a week at Carlisle.
    Have you guys posted your needs directly on the A100 site? Just fyi,shop where you want but I try and take care of the little guy when I can.

    Tim, I have tried!
    I even saw him on another forum (HAMB) and mentioned that he was supposed to be the go-to guy; He never posted again!
    I had to check my pits to make sure it wasn't my stink driving him off. Laughing
    I have called, emailed, and responded to his posts on 2 different forums. The guy will not respond!
    I understand he's busy and this is a sideline, but if this is the treatment you get before he has your money, I shudder to think what would happen after the cash is sent!
    This may be airing dirty laundry and I understand if the mods want to pull this, but this is exactly what I would want to know if someone was recommended.

    Let's just hope that Restoration Specialties come through with the goods in July for me and a few other guys for 1/4 window rubbers.

    I have tried Steele Products, as they list what looks like exactly what I needed, but the goods I received were just generic 'run off the drum' rubber strips. No way did they even come close to fitting my truck windows. They failed to respond to my several emails suggesting they check what they are selling, and that I was less than satisfied as a customer.......no response.

    Tim, if you can get someone at Restoration Specialties to make the right stuff, they will sell a heap of 1/4 window rubbers. I don't mind paying the price, but if the price is high, the goods better be right.

    I took a tour of R.S. with the owner. He showed me stacks of the A100 rubber products. I ve never used them myself but have never heard anything bad about them. If George doesnt respond,then I dont blame you. I dont know him personally but have talked recently with him about reproducing products and associated costs. I have no problem with you posting your personal experience with him. Hopefully everyone will be able to reach me since I frequent several sites. I value customer service highly .
