Windhsield Molding

Did a search and found a couple topics that dance around the subject. I need to replace my windshield and the factory oem molding is almost as much as the windshield. They have a universal that is about $100 less and I was wondering if anyone has seen this universal molding used. If so what did you think?

Thanks in advance for any opinions

Forgot to mention. On an S14

yup. $223 for the complete OEM molding
Glass with install was $250 for my S13. I'm Not a fan of "Ford Econoline" van Molding.
Thats how they described how it looks to me when I decided to buy the OEM one.
Oh well.

One more for Universal, got my windshield and molding replaced for $180 through a local place. OEM metal molding looks like junk to me...
