    I am looking for a place that sells the best weather stripping as close to OEM as possible. I would like to get a full kit including side vent windows? Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks people

    There is ONLY one company that makes all the Maverick stuff....so what you get is what you get.

    Yes! AK sells all but the quarter glass ws as far as I know. I am in the process of installing their kit now. I've had it laying around for 3yrs. Time to get in on the car.

    Not any more, he stopped once Carpenters started reproducing them.
    The weather stripping, other than the front window gasket, are made my Daniel Carpenter, and sold through their wholesale network, to various dealers.

    Do they sell the seal at the bottom of the door glass? I don't know what it's called and can't seem to be able to find it on AK. Do they sell an entire door kit?

    I only know of the rear glass for a 4-door being made.

    I am sure two door stuff can work for the doors if you cut it down.
