Am I missing something? - Door Weatherstripping

Is there another piece that goes here behind the glass? When I put the door card on, there's a big hole behind the glass on the interior. The passenger side is filled in.
This is the correct weatherstrip kit per Classic Industries. I don't have anything to go off except the passenger side because half of my original weatherstripping is crumbling and missing.

I do not think there is. This video here (
) is for a camaro but it should be identical. The space is usually covered with the interior plastic on the top of the door card (the black plastic above the grey on the inside of your passenger door).

Are you talking about the gaping hole? If so, then yes, you answered your own question. The driver door doesn't have the top molding piece on it. The inner stripping is attached to/part of the upper door trim.
