Received two new outer window seals for my 90. I found great instructions on how to remove the old ones which is now done.
Having great difficulty in installing the new one. There are 7 clips on it which slip into 7 holes on the inner door, but I'll be darned if I can get them all in. It seems like I can get the outer ones in on either end but the middle of the seal just pushes away when I give the seal a "test" push...any hints? Any better beginning the installation from the ends or from the middle outwards?
Do the clips need to be tight for a better hold or should they be pried open a little bit for installation? When I try tight it seems that I can't get them all in...when I try pried open a bit they don't fit snugly. Is this fit important or do the 3 pop rivets take up the slack?
thanks
