Ken, I ordered the "fuzzy" seals from TRF and just installed them this
weekend. It is pretty easy. They fit over the standing seam that runs
around the door opening and they continue on up on the windscreen. Took me
a while to figure that out (my old ones were cut just below the windscreen
and I didn't know why the new ones were sooo long; DOH!!) I used a rubber
mallet to tap them in place and maybe next time I would use some
weather-stripping adhesive but they seem like a tight fit. Gives the
interior a nice clean look! And the windows actually seal against them!
