Vintage rubber? Any thoughts?

I placed an order with them this weekend for all the rubber on the doors for my 83. Took my $200 but I haven't heard anything about a tracking number or anything? If I do get the stuff, how's the quality? I looked on mazdatrix after I placed the order. Should have bought OEM it's only a few bucks more.

If the product isn't factory parts, then the prices on their site are high. I curious what brand they are.

ZJust for information, "Metro Moulded" make a lot of aftermarket doors seals and if they are Metro brand, the price is to high. Metro isn't as good as factory.

Metro doesn't list anything but the outside door seal. Email vintage said he don't have all the items in stock to ship. I ordered Saturday and here it's Thursday afternoon still not even ready to ship or anything. I asked for a refund. I'll just order from mazdatrix.

I replaced the door seals on my SE with Generic stuff.. much cheaper then the OEM ones. Works fine. Time will tell how long they last...

You should check with your local dealership. Last time I checked, the pricing was close enough to Mazdatrix that I came out ahead thanks to not paying shipping.

Yeah I agree. Mazdatrix is usually way higher than dealer. I should give dealer part numbers and order
