Hi my seals are shot but molding is still in good shape.
Has anyone had problems using original molding with new seals.
Any help would be appreciated

I used my original mouldings with West Coast Metric rubber, went in and stayed put with no fuss.... I would always use original parts if they are in decent shape.

I am very pleased with west coast metric (WCM) seals. I have wing window rubber installed close to 30 years ago from WCM and it is as soft and flexible as day installed.
