I've already destroyed two fuzzy seals for my door windows while attempting to
install them. Anyone who has installed these will know what I'm talking
about. The fuzzy seal has a crimped metal piece that runs along the lower
edge, to which the clips are installed. The other side of the clips then grip
the door sheetmetal on the inside of the window opening. The fuzzy strips
must be cut to size before installation (no problem). The trouble I'm running
into is that the metal strip along the bottom pulls away from the fuzzy
material during my attempts at installation and cannot be re-attached. At
least, I've found no way to do this. To date, I've been installing the clips
to the seal first, then using a spare front suspension shim to try and pull up
the clip (and the seal along with it) onto the door sheetmetal.
Should I install the clips to the door first, then try to push the seal down
onto the clips? Is that where I've been making my mistake? TIA
