Door Seal question

Our host sells three brands of door seals - why shuch a spread in price?

need opionions from those that have installed... please.

OEM - $55.25
URO - $16.75
Porsche Brand - $190.00

I understand the P tax but...$ 140 more than OEM brand? What have you guys done and are you 100% happy?

I'll have to go and look at what brand I bought. I know it wasn't Porsche... have been totally satisfied with them though.

Why go Porsche brand if OEM is so affordable?

I went with the OEM Seals.

They were incorrect for my year but still function just fine!

I have had bad luck with non Porsche brand seals.

I know I am being OCD but have found items to be a little smaller/ larger than stock, the shape is slightly off etc. Have spend so much $$ on this project - the diffrence in cost is hard to justify atg this point.

I did URO and even after a year and cleaning out the rails extremely thoroughly the doors still take a bit too much effort to close
Going to redo them with Porsche or OEM

I guess you can look at it from the perspective of the downside of a bad seal.
Maybes
Door won't close right
Water leaks
Air leaks
