My car is kept in a temperature controlled garage so there's no reason for the cracking other than product quality. My guess is that the Latex doesn't like the light stretch necessary to install them and very quickly it starts shearing apart. I can't recommend them. I will probably go back to a quality rubber replacement and just get use to the door slam.

Odd about the cracking... the factory stuff was latex. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

If yes, my next molding will be Metro. |
We used Metro on my Dad's '56 Chevy, and it was stiff as hell at first. Once it compressed a bit, no more problems.
