Deluxe belt weather strip kit

I see macs has the set for around $240 but while searching around i found another but it was on ebay for $149. The ebay one said it was made in the us but I really have no idea which one to get if either or does anyone have any first hand experience on the quality of these? ANYBODY has any suggestions?

I've been told the Ebay kits are made by restoration specialties. I bought two for my Econo's. The back edge of the vent seals are just molded rubber. They do not have the brass molded into them that the Mac's rear edge vent seals do. I ended up buying the correct ones from Mac's. They cost about $20.00. Another problem I encountered was the glass run that goes up and over the glass didn't fit into the holes in my doors. The last pin by the vent window was out of position. I'm told you can just cut this off and glue it in place with silicone. I ended up using some NOS ones that I had. I've never seen any of Mac's kits in person so I don't know how they are.

I bought that from Macs a few years ago, thought it was good quality. Saw the one on Ebay for $149. -it does not look to have as many parts as Macs, such as for the division bars and back edge of vent window seals

Is Mac's a good source for all the weather strip? I'm gonna need One Front Door set, two cargo door sets, two rear windows.

Don't buy the Mac's front door seals. They are the same as Carpenter's which are flawed. I have the better ones here in stock. $120 a set shipping included.

I installed Tim's and they are perfect.. I did the carpenter ones they were terrible. The made my doors
Stick out the were so thick.. Restoration specailties have the anti rattle kits that work the best. Imo..

so what are wrong with Macs ? That's the ones I have ordered . My van is at the autobody shop being painted . Is it all the doors or just the front doors ? I want to do it right the first time . Thanks

Mac's gets them from Carpenter's and Carpenter's are too thick and hard. Only the front door ones are flawed. Carpenter's side door seals are ok. Carpenter's repeatedly refused to fix their seals so I had correct ones made.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
