77-84 98 2 door vs 4 door window part availability

As I've mentioned in another thread I've been looking for a 98 of this vintage, initially I was focused on a 4 door because they theoretically make better family cars. A seller I've come across has a 4 door with a 403. However as it turns out he has had in the not too distant past a 2 door that also has a 403 and honestly a gorgeous interior. After talking with some people further down the road with families than I, it seems a 2 door can be made to work. I haven't asked if it's still available because I needed to find out about part availability for their door components. Things like weatherstripping, power window parts, glass, etc. What has been your experience? When there's been window issues on a 2 door, how have you been able to resolve it? Thank you, the guidance on this forum is invaluable.

Here's another weather stripping provider. I have weather stripping on my 71 from both Soff Seal and Steele Rubber.
