I think you'll be pleased. Just take your time notching the sides of it for the upper window corners, etc. so you only have to use one long continuous piece for each window. I haven't had any problems with mine since I installed it. Works great, and no leaks.
The WC 21-96 that I ordered showed up today. Fits ok, seems a little small though, doesn't fit as tight as the original Ford pieces for sure, and much thinner also. Guess it will have to work though and hope it doesn't leak. JC Whitney stuff #27 part# 813699Y is dicontinued and came from China. JCW said they won't be getting anymore.
What type of vehicle did you install WC 21-96 into?
I have a 1978 Fairmont 2 door sedan I am using the WC 21-96 on. Wondering if maybe the WC 22-96 would be a little better because it's a little bigger. Also to let everyone know the 78-79 full size Bronco rear window inner and outer sweepers are pretty much a perfect match to the Fairmont's original ones. At least they are for the 2-door sedan, not sure about Futura's. Just have to cut to length and move the clips to the proper spacing. Not hard to do at all.
I have been meaning to post here about those pieces I ordered (WC 21-96). I got the drivers side piece in as soon as UPS delivered them and they fit so much better than that North Yale window channel junk I had there, although I must say I learned today what those little metal rubber coated guiding clips in the factory felts do about 3/4 way up the window frame next to the pillar, they help guide the window when you roll it up.

so any definite info here for a Fairmont Futura? I do not have a right side mirror, so my beltline weatherstrip is different size, left to right. I need a long one for the right side and even the left is longer than say a Mustang. I wonder if the Lincoln pieces will work? long enough? Who's done the Futura? I see a set on ebay, but trying not to pay $110 plus shipping for these wipes.

I have a 2 dr 1981 Ford Granada and can confirm that part # 49-9465 from www.lmctruck.com fits the outer door belt with some trimming and moving of several of the clips. They are $39.95 a piece
