    For a 2 door if it matters. I remember buying some a while back that didn't have the 90 degree bend and didn't fit quite right.

    Nobody makes them with the 90 degree bend already made. One has to do that themselves.

    Who makes the nicer weatherstrip. I think the old one I bought was hard to roll up, or will it be easier over time.

    I think there is just one manufactur and several who sell the same thing.

    I think I just jammed it in there and have had no issues.

    Mine are a little tight but fine with me.

    If too tight, try a little silicone lubricant.

    Metro has one as does Fairchild, I thought they were both manufacturers but I could be wrong. They both carry a different part number. I've noticed other sellers selling with the metro part number (WC1796)

    It is all made by the same company. Just shop it by price. One "bag" does one door.

    Just need to "pie cut" the corners. D1DZ-5421596_DoorGlassRun.jpg Picture 012.jpg Picture 013.jpg

    I might try and make a trip to the salvage yard to find out if these will work. They look similar, but might be too short
