Window felts

Anybody have any insight on which inner and outer window felts are better.
The ones from Fusick or the ones from Steele
Thanks

I got mine from OPGI. They were a little more expensive, but the fit was perfect. I've heard from other people on this site that felts bought from other suppliers required some cutting to get them to fit.

Thanks everybody. Wasn't sure if anyone used Steele Rubber Products they seem to be more costly but you usually get what you pay for.

I have two sets both new. The set from metro has a noticeable difference in felt quality, thicker and overall a much better feel.

I bought 2 sets, one from OPGI. They were wrong for my car, as always OPGI made up some excuse. Ordered another set from Supercars Unlimited, they look really nice! Thick felts, factory style clips etc. By the way both sets are actually from Repops who i think makes them for the various vendors to sell. OPGI's set just wasnt what it was represented to be, nice but wrong for my car. It had NO stainless trim on it at all. Their tech guy said you had to peel off some of the rubber to see the stainless LOL. What a joke! The SCU set looks perfect, though i havnt actually fit them yet.

Wow! You got ripped. The set I ordered from OPGI was stainless, great quality and a perfect fit. Given, it was about 3 years ago that I picked them up. Maybe they changed their supplier?

If restoration specialties has to make them up, be prepared to wait a long time.
