The door seals are the last thing you want to put in right before the
door panel. Take an old scraper and bend it into a "J" to hold the clip,
that way you can pull up to install them. After the clips are in place
support the clips with this tool and push the strips into the clips with
a piece of wood. You will have to trim the strips to fit with a pair of
tin snips.

Does anyone have a routine for stuffing the door guts back into the
door. I
would think the front and back channels would be the items to start on
after
the exterior handle, and the lock. Does one install the outer door waste
and
the inner weatherstrip after the glass is in place or wouild it be
easier to
do it before?  Any ideas would be appreciated.
