I was always going to buy a rares rubber kit first, but early on I read what seemed like good advice and that is to only replace whats necessary as some of the new rubbers might not fit as well as some of the old rubbers (providing they are still serviceable and not hard and brittle and missing chunks).
I'm not sure if this has changed but i have also read a few threads that mention that some of the window rubbers namely the front one does not fit well ... and some have even gave up on trying to fit something that wont fit and have bought a betta one.
Sedan boot seals which i think are the same as some of the door rubbers are said to be softer (in a good way) from betta then the other option.
