Jan,
Install the door top pad first, the seal overlaps it. Remove the door panel
itself
and at the bottom of the door you will see a bracket held to the door with two
little
screws. Removing the screws will allow the window to be wound down a little
further
permitting easier seal installation. I like to install the inner clips on the
door
first then snap the seal into the clip. Be careful as the clip will want to
pop off
down into the door. If this happens support the clip with the tool while
pressing the
seal in.
Good luck!
Cheers!
