There are so many issues with our era of aftermarket rubber. USA made. Foreign made. Good rubber. Bad rubber. Good fit. Bad fit.

Steele used to be 100% USA made in their fine molding facility. Most of it still is. Not all.

Most vendors buy from one Chinese company. "The Peoples Old Truck Rubber Company". There is no competition in China. Not allowed. They make the only weather strip parts for budget money and they wholesale to our vendors. Semi acceptable molds, process and quality control.

Steele makes the best. From precision molds/extruders, inspected by real inspectors.

Material: China, made with everything from old recycled gym shoes to tires to plastic toys.

Steele: Genuine rubber/latex blocks processed from genuine rubber trees.

The reason you can't complain about Classic is their return policy. Return for full refund "for any reason". No other has that. No restock charges. No minimum order.


Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
