Ecklers has sent out ones for 90-96. They are not charging shipping and will credit me the shipping I pay to send the ones I have back to them.

Fair deal.

I have used Ecklers in the past on a handful if items. Always got what I ordered. But, they are always a last resort.

Ummm, I guess you've gotten a run around from them...

For me I called after 5 and she said she would talk to tech and call me back. She did, said I can return it and they'd refund my shipping costs and send the correct 90-96 weatherstripping for the difference in price (about $9) and no other shipping charges.

I've bought from Mid America and Ecklers and not had any customer service problems with either one...

I delt with Melissa...
