As long as you are satisfied that's what counts. There is a lack of Hornet/Gremlin repo parts out there that only as of late has been starting to be filled. I will be ordering a new set of inside window sweeps for the new Hornet shortly from Kennedy American. I bought a set from them for the other Hornet and they fit like factory. I'll need them after I install the new dash and paint the tops of the doors before installing the new door panels.
