Whenever I need rubber bushes, rings, grommets I get industrial quality
as much as possible. Last much longer and you have a choice in materials
fit for the purpose.
However it is not always easy to get hold of them as you usually have to
buy from a wholesale dealer who often requires that you buy from them
through a retailer or in large quantities.

<p>"Rubber" means different things these days. Hi quality natural
rubber, as used in our cars originally, will last many years.
Now, rubber can come from many sources, some better than
others. In my experience, I installed a lower windshield seal
and a year later it cracked. Installed a replacement and it has
held up for 15 years. So, quality matters; buy from
knowledgeable dealers, they should know.</p>
