for anyone who orders or was thinking about ordering from the truck shop
let me be clear here 1st i have found out lately that im not very good with words lately so that being said i want to say that this post is in no way a bashing post its merely just meant to be helpful to you all .... ok so i ordered a full window cat gut kit ( aka Window felt kit ) from the truck shop.. its a nice kit goes on well and is not a glue in .. but lol here is the helpful part check your Window divider rubber seal if it is still soft and good and tight then leave it lol.. because i ripped mine out because it was Hard as a rock but the kit from them on that part is not a thick rubber seal anymore now its just the fuzzy part of a Velcro tape as in the part that Velcro hooks will stick to .. yup thats right just that.. so now as you can imagine the window dose move a bit in that part of the channel .. confused about this before putting it in . i called them and asked for the tech Dept .. got put on hold for a lil over 10 mins lol only to be told by the same lady who put me on hold .. we don't have a tech dept ...lol so i asked her about this and she says its designed be a replacement kit for the factory so they are right use them .. ok so again for the price the kit is very good and snaps into place .. but if you can save your divider rubber .. do so you will be much more happy ..... Happy Truckin

From my experience, they're very good in knowing what is in their catalog. That's about it. YMMV

Re: for anyone who orders or was thinking about ordering from the truck shop
Yeah. They don't reproduce that part anymore so they give you the stick on felt. I am not 100% sure but I think Soft Seal dose make it.

Re: for anyone who orders or was thinking about ordering from the truck shop
The one I got from LMC was like that but the set I got from Brothers was like the factory felt.

Re: for anyone who orders or was thinking about ordering from the truck shop
Aren't there 2 options. For glass with the chrome edge, and for glass without?
Perhaps you got the wrong one?

Re: for anyone who orders or was thinking about ordering from the truck shop
Yes. You need to understand that the OE style doesn't come in a kit. You need to order the OE style if you want the nice kind. Unfortunately, the OE style are not available as a kit.

Re: for anyone who orders or was thinking about ordering from the truck shop
ok wait a second lets be a little fair here i ordered a kit from them and online in the online catalog on page 67 part # 64-07503 ... which states this in the ad includes upper door glass channels .. Anti Rattle window seals and division bar inserts kits does 2 doors .... so now that being said how is it i am to understand that i would have to buy anything different ? and i also did say i wasent bashing them it was to try to help others not make the same mistake . but really if you read that part number how do you think one is to know they need anything else ?

So, I am just trying to help you find the part you want. Not trying to make any issues about who did what. I'm not certain what other vendors sell, but I'd say that if you order any division bar insert made by COUNTERPART, (by itself or in a kit) you can pretty much be sure that it's gonna be the thin cheap insert.

Re: for anyone who orders or was thinking about ordering from the truck shop
as blown240 said 2 types, one for the windows with the metal around the edge and one for no metal. I got the stick on as it's the only type for the metal edge that i could find. the other looks like it snaps in some way? aren't 64-66 tks all without the metal?

Re: for anyone who orders or was thinking about ordering from the truck shop
I got the kit from bowtiebits because they are here in town and it had the correct seal and was easy to install. 65 bucks too! Jeff @ btb only picks high quality stuff for his stock.
