I've had a number replaced. The glass guys say the oem rubber is high quality. If you replace the rubber the dash needs to come out. The rubber has a couple tabs that attach to the bulkhead under the dash. The thing to watch for is the condition of the metal tabs. They are screwed to the metal under the dash. I'm told they help keep the dash from popping out in an accident. When you replace the rubber the glass guys just cut them off. Lastly the tabs can be a rust problem. When they get rusty they swell and push the rubber away from the glass and cause leaks. You can see if the tabs are swollen because you'll see bumps along the bottom of the rubber.If you talk to your glass guy and he explains all this stuff and the options you know he's good and I'd follow his advice.
