I thought is was hard. You need to take off the stainless trim. Remove the old weatherstrip. Clean out old adhesive. Glue and screw in new weatherstrip. You need special screws or you might crack your windshield. I used 3M weatherstrip adhesive. Is there something better because it takes forever to stick? Then reinstall the stainless trim.
You think you are done? Not likely. You will probably have to adjust your door windows.

Two beer job. One for each side. Sippin' slow.

Installation diagrams in the AIM are good for how things are supposed to be.

Very easy. Just clean out the channels thoroughly before installing the new ones. Here's a link to the thread when I did my WS's.

Coupe, I assume? You will want the AIM. The rears are likely to have screws to remove and re-use, and possibly some rivets.

You might want to search the archives. Some of the members have posted problems with some of the replacement weatherstrips.
