I see two types available and don't know which I should get. Both are supposed to be for my year Ranger. In the pic below I circled in red the part that is present on the strip in the kit from eBay but is not on the strip from the kit on Rockauto.

I used the Rock Auto kit on both of mine. The only issue I have had with it is that since my window seal is now actually tight to the glass like it should be the weak passenger side motor on my B2 is showing more. Goes down fine, hard going up.

Thanks. Looks like I’ll be getting the Rock Auto kit. It’s almost half the cost too.

Does the beltline strip mate up well with the channel weatherstripping at the front of the window?

that is exactly my question. it seems like a whole coner of this is missing from the kit, although the new beltline pieces are 1/4 longer than the old stuff. LMC and rockauto, and fairchilds website all show this as correct.
