Dealer Windshield Gasket

[rideair]

After reading about the after market windshield gasket problems, I decided to contact the local Chevy dealership about one from them. They told me I could buy one new for about $225.00 for the gasket and $75.00 for the chrome insert.

My question, are the Chevy/GM ones any better than the after market stuff?

If they are better, I can see paying the extra cash for something that fits and does not leak. I'd hate to buy the after market stuff and end up with something that leaks, has to be redone three times to get it right.

I just wonder at this point does the Chevy dealer get their stuff from the same place or are they truly better?

What's the old saying "You can pay me now or pay me later".

Any help would be great.
