Generics should be fine ^. Did you check a GM dealer for the OEM ones?

Unfortunately finding good ones is not easy. I tried ordering the AC delco brand, they were garbage hard plastic nothing like the good factory pieces. Then I ordered a set through Autozone and one was hard plastic the other soft rubber.....so I had Autozone order another set and between the 2 sets I got 2 soft rubber ones. Still not near the factory pieces but usable, Pretty frustrating.

What about GM parts? (This is probably an instance where AC Delco is not GM.)

Good luck I tried a few different ones and they were all hard plastic crap. I didn't try the dealer so maybe you'll be lucky there? Rock Auto lists 2 different ac delco parts so maybe who knows?
