    Hey guys, I'm looking for the weatherstrip portion that is inside the door at the top that holds the window in place.
    I was looking in autocrafters and can't seem to find the whole piece. It looks like they have the door glass run (D1DZ-5421596), but it say only 10 inch's. Am I missing something here?
    Or does anyone know where to get that weather stripping part?
    I need the whole inner piece.

    Here is pics of the old one. Notice the metal tab in the window. That's the weatherstripping I am talking about.

    And if you need it fast, and AutoKrafters is on backorder, you can try this place as a plan "B":

    part number: IS-WC 17-96

    I couldn't find where Steel Rubber had the run channel for Mavericks.

    Question for anyone who has purchased the AK ones. Do they have the anti rattle clips installed?

    Weather stripping

    If you mean the metal piece in the picture, NO. I ordered one of these from AK and it does not have the metal piece. I am planning to try using the old one.....will know in a week or two if it worked.

    Nope.
    The fit is pretty good except up in the 90 degree corner. The factory piece is molded for the corner. Had a hard time getting the new one to fit right. Still isnt quite good enough for my liking but nobody else would likely notice it.

    As Stated The Aftemarket "crap" is a one piece Design that doesnt fit/form as the Original fomoco Glass channel run in the 90 degree ... Trying to find NOS in that piece is hard to find I have 1 on the passenger side of my car took forever to find. Im not sure you can reuse the anti rattle clip as it was made into the weatherstrip.

    Good information, I have read before about the fit in the corners but don't think I ever saw mentioned on here about the lack of anti Rattle clips. I watched a pair sell on ebay a few years ago NOS Anti Rattle clips. Don't remember what they sold for though.
