Can someone tell me what type I should have? Are these all the same? I'm looking at replacing the Black aftermarket one just in case of any confusion

Seeing as you've got the door in bits may I suggest you buy some of THIS and do the front and rear runners, can't imagine the windows don't rattle at this point in their life. At least have a good check thumbsup
