    I used this set, but shop around, I found it also on eBay for $75 plus shipping, under $90.  The kit is good but the felt strips need to be trimmed to length, they were about 1-inch too long for a first gen and the clips are flimsy, had to modify and even epoxy a few spots with JB Weld to make them fit snug to the door edge, but they are the only kits around.  If you are doing this for the first time, follow the shop manual for removing the glass properly, I almost broke one of mine trying to squeeze it out the wrong way.  Getting the guide strip into the track all the way around is a "bear" too but take your time and it will come out great, mine did.  One more thing, the kit does not come with the vertical vent window frame fuzzies, only the bottom belt lines, I used my old ones, they weren't too bad.  If they are gone, you have to do major surgery to remove them and replace them using a special rivet tool made for this purpose or fabricate substitute tracks, search the forums for threads on that.
