I had one of these replaced on my 99 wagon and all went well.
When the one on the other side of the car also deteriorated, the dealer ( a different one that the one who did the first repair), decided the best solution was to NOT replace the rubber seal, but to put a bead of black urethane in there instead.
Stupidly I agreed, and they did it , and it doesn't look good (not awful, but far from good)
More importantly, they monkeyed the metal plate off the b-pillar in some gawd awful way that caused them to scratch the crap out of my roof. So my car spent the week in the autobody shop, and now has a visible repaint in that region. They didn't even tell me about it til the day after it happened (even when I called to see if the car was ready -- they just said, not until tomorrow, then called the next day to tell me it would be in the body shop for two days)
Given all that, I think I would have lived with the nasty deteriorated rubber :)
