    GM ones are a harder plastic like stuff. They are the better ones. most motor factors will sell them. Just tell them you dont want stretchy boots.

    Never heard of people have issues with the boots tho.

    What's wrong with stretchy ones? I put a stretchy one on my golf 60k+ miles ago and it's still ok.
