Default replacing weather seals on T-top car

I'm looking for tips/advice on replacing my weather stripping for my t-tops and doors on my '84 Z28. Is OEM/NOS parts recommended over aftermarket parts? And of course the big question, how many people have any luck getting them to stop leaking after replacing the seals?

Thanks

There are a number of good products out there. OEM is most likely the easiest to install. As for not leaking.....carefull adjustments need to be made in the fore/aft positions to make sure there is a positive seal. I know after re-doing all of my seals, my doors are difficult to close with the windows up. It has never been driven in the rain since the resto, and I've only washed it a few times and have not seen a leak, but I use minimal water to wash. I think adjusting them correctly is just as important as seal replacement.
