Steele Rubber
« on: February 13, 2021, 11:17:24 AM »
Has anyone used their parts? They are pricier than most, but I would be happy to pay for high quality and domestically produced.

I have used them exclusively for rubber parts on the last 3 cars I've done. Very happy with their products.

They even have rubber parts for Pinto's!

Sweet. No Pinto’s here, but thanks for the endorsement. I have not been able to find people posting online gripes you might discover when looking at Dennis Carpenter reviews.

I've used them on several projects. If they offer something I'm looking for I'll use them over other brands. It's pricier but the quality is good and the fit is as close to OEM as I've  found.

I received my pieces from Steele. They make most in house and contract a small amount of parts from Taiwan. The prices are higher, but worth it. Communication from their front office was great, also.

I have some pieces from Dennis Carpenter that are not so great and will be replaced
with the Steele parts.

Good to know on Steele Rubber Products. Looks like they are about an hour north of me in Denver NC. About the same distance as NPD, Harris Mustang and Dennis Carpenter as well.

Some of you than have 67-8 fastbacks likely have encountered the decklid seal issues. No one makes them correctly and after three years my decklid still sits up a bit on one corner and is difficult to close easy.
Finding an early NOS unit is difficult to come by.
