Aftermarket X-door to body seals

All 4 doors on my 998 need seals replaced. Looking at OEM vs FMP style the latter look interesting. That said, the material used is likely very inexpensive direct from AMZN/other sources. Curious if anyone has sourced their own adhesive seal and how the results were.

Oem x-doors do not use peel n stick seals. They slide into metal trim that rivets to door. Oem are also not from a roll. They have corners.

Yep, I’m aware. Curious for input if anyone has tried the stick on seals and how they worked (or not)

Your title is confusing.
Are you looking for seals for your aftermarket doors or aftermarket seals for your real doors?

Its a custom seal with right angles for the corners. Would seem simple enough, but it's the government / hmmwv thing we should be familiar with by now. A bit pricey but worth it in the long run for another thirty years. I looked high and low at many custom rubber manufacturer to source anything close to fit in the door channel and seal to truck. No JOY. Bet other have too... including some not really federal suppliers LOL

Pay attention to the track / channel for damage, pinched, bent or dinged up. Best to restore / refinish doors first, Ding up frame / channel anodizing might be better masked and painted. Pop in the seals last. Lots of soap, hot water, warm day and fussing. If that isn't working well, might have to slightly open channel and squeeze it back with soft jaw pliers. You get the picture. If lucky can push right in. If going OEM ask if fresh production. Hard dried up "NOS surplus" could be a problem.

In this case OEM, CAMO
