URO parts, good?

Eventually all the rubber needs replacing, so I am always looking for deals, but try to avoid the junk. ******** has URO brand rear hatch seal for $85, anybody know if its good or junk or? More Information for ÜRO PARTS 92851212905

Factory part I recall is metal inside.

It seems that any forum postings that include the word URO inevitably include words like "failed" or "crap."

I don't have any personal experience though.

No experience with this particular PN, but have poor experience with other items they've made. Their early 911 sump screen is particularly bad.

I have URO brand airbox straps for the 928, they are great! I think it's hit or miss though, because a few Saab parts I bought that were URO brand were junk.

I also have the straps....seem fine, but I don't have the run time to see if they hold up to the heat.

I would use if there was a significant cost savings, non- critical part that is easy to install. I put a uro flasher switch in my 7 series. Seems to work fine.
