Same thing goes for window visors, but they manage to hold up fairly well.

I'd just like to point out that I started this thread in December 2007... I think that makes it my longest lasting thread yet.

I got some much deeper rubber strips like 1 1/2-2 inches (door sills from a semi trailer) and they have aluminum backing to screw into on the parts where they attach to the body. We'll see what happens.....

Its not that it might look bad, the fact that its not sturdy rubber. Its foam rubber that can tear. And you can see the mold seams with makes it look even more cheep when you get right up on it. If it was a flexible non porous durable rubber than I would think this is not so bad but you can stretch and rip this stuff with your hands.
