    I bought mine from Autokrafters. Price? I had seen a little cheaper on e-bay......but, you know the drill - can't find when you are looking for it.
    You've got to search Maverick, Ford Maverick, Grabber, Maverick Grabber.

    gregmaverick were you happy with what you purchased? I had looked at Autokrafters and read many posts about quality from them and it was 50/50.

    It is all made by the same company...so shop by price.

    I have it on my orange car...I am pleased.

    Yes - many parts you will find are made by a single company - but, you will find many sellers. I thought that the pieces were kind of spendy, but I couldn't find the other seller that I saw - when I didn't need it.
    What I found was interesting, is that there are many sellers of the "glass run". And, they seem to sell rolls of different lengths. Autokrafters' rolls gave you slightly longer (per door). This was good, as the end(s) that you are feeding through may get a little worn.

    PS: Because I didn't remove the window; with the window rolled down - I had to feed & snake through the inside latch-side - up and around, and then down the hinge side. I sprayed a little "window cleaner" (windex, etc.) on the rubber side of the rubber run to act as a lubricant. I trimmed the excess off, when done. When installing, occasionally, I had to roll the window up/down a little to "un-jamb" the rubber run".
