Default Outer door seals, which?

I am replacing the outer door seals on my '84 and was wondering if it makes difference if you use OEM or repro door seals as far as fit?
Thanks, Mark

if you want the GM version of those seals, a set is about $55 with forum discount, call Chris May at Superior Chevrolet:

I don't think that there is enough price difference on the repros to warrant choosing them over OEM. At $55 for both sides, I would definately go GM.

I just did this on my 89 convertible. The repro's usually come with the rivets, the OEM don't. The rivets are a certain size, but I can't remember at the moment what it is. I used repro's from Mid America, quality seemed comparable to what I took off.

I also changed the inner seals and the door-top felt window guides while I was at it. Got rid of an annoying squeak!
