Maybe that's why it looks so crappy - I didn't glue it! 
The first one they sent already had a broken corner right out of the package. Fortunately I noticed that before I took the old one off the car. The replacement which got installed was "hand picked" before it was shipped. They probably don't move that many C4 parts and can make more profit selling crappy off-shore parts at a premium price than they would manufacturing the part in-house. Even if they have to replace half of what they ship.
You must be in denial. Here, again, is their response to the country of origin of this product;
And yet you continue to do so, even after this was all discussed back in June.

Two weatherstrips or two corners? Because yours are the only photos on this site which show this part from this supplier as properly fitting.
Lesson learned; don't base a purchasing decision on the recommendation of one anonymous internet poster - make sure to get the recommendation of several anonymous internet posters!
We manufacture the majority of our parts here in North Carolina. Some parts are purchased from other manufacturers. This happens to be one of them.

Well RUU we must agree to disagree this is going nowhere. I would not accept what you have and you are the only one who could correct it.
You are the only one complaining about them so you are only one also.
I use my real name and am not anonymous. Do not work for any of the suppliers and have nothing to gain.
Bottom line mine are good and yours are not.

Got an answer today. Ruu is correct they are importing.

Thank you,

Ruu my advice send yours back get your $180.00 and order from Wilcox. Your $100.00 is recovered along with my apology. Glad I got mine when I did. No more recommendations on hatch seals.

complete set and I think I need it all. Corners on rear hatch ripped and collect water. The stuff around the windows and the roof are shot.
The others sets listed say USA, but I wonder if Item #X2184 is the import version.
Also are these truly complete sets or are there other pieces I'll need (window sweep, around the bottom of the door, etc..)

These sets generally won't include the window sweeps or the hood/wheel well seals. There is no seal at the bottom of the doors. You may want to verify whether the A and B pillar and roof panel pieces are rubber or latex. The latex is OEM style and people seem to have fewer problems with leaks and wind noise with that over the rubber seals.

We just installed the new CRC rear window weatherstrip and the thing is awesome. It's molded in the corners and I really don't see it failing like the other brands. We also put this in our all new 100 percent crc made weatherstrip kits for the c4 coupes
