Default Installing targa top side weather strip tips/suggestions?

I will be replacing the side targa top weather stripping soon.
Any tips or suggestions on how to install?
What type of adhesive is best to use?
Is it hard to remove old pieces, should I use some kind of cleaner on the targa once removed?

Just changed mine 2 weeks ago. Pretty simple. Bought the two pieces on ebay for 68 bucks. Bought weather strip adhesive from the hardware store. Stripped the old off, scraped it pretty clean with a small flexable putty knife, Cleaned it with alcohol and smeared the glue on and made sure the new one got pushed all the way in to all the creases. Let it dry some where warm overnight. It came out fine. Really simple. Best of luck on yours. Larry
