Hatch seal

[tanny]

Why is the price of the inner hatch seal from VB only $50 and the same from MSA is $125? Didn't see any reference to this wide disparity in price on any previous threads. Does one fit better than the other, is one OEM, does the VB seal work reasonably well? Beside price, the other reason I ask is that I bought the cheaper door seals from VB and they did not fit well at all. Do not want to make a similar mistake this time. Thanks, Victor.

Hey Victor, Just remember the old saying

"you get what you pay for"

if the cheap one don't fit so well, you probably should have paid more.

That's often right, but with that much price disparity, it's worth finding out why, and if the less expensive one works decently, why not? Kind of like the electric fuel pump for the 73 Z: the original costs 4 or 5 times more than the aftermarket, and if you aren't too worried about showing the car, the aftermarket pump works perfectly fine. That's why I'd like to find out if anyone has used the cheaper VB seal and how it has worked out. Thanks for the response, Victor.
