From the E-Bay ad posted, I question if in fact Cuda and Challenger weatherstripping is the same, since the doors certainly aren't.   :dunno:

I know Sylvain, personally and have had him do quite a bit of restoration work for me. His work is outstanding. It simply sounds like he is growing the business from restoration work only to supplying parts, too.

I am sure there are a lot of member's here that has done business with SMS, too. He is a great guy and if there are any questions, I would suggest calling and speaking with him directly.

Yes. Check the 800 phone number in the Ebay listing and link I posted to his US web site and shop.

Champlain NY is only a couple of miles south of the Canadian border.
