I'm the type of person who prefers when it comes to my car to either have the right part that belongs there or something better than the right part. These are the only two options I try to use in my cars, so of course I'm not going to tell you that this option is better than OEM, but I will tell you that it's better than the worn OEM seals that you replace. . They are of very good quality and the rubber-silicone material used is very high quality. Highly recommend, especially for the price.
