Default How-to guide? Weatherstripping replace

Just got a big box of rubbers from our friends at Wilcox!

Are there any guides in this forum on the best way to remove/replace the weatherstripping on our babies??

I'd like to knock this out this beautiful 3-day weekend!

p.s. to the owner of this site...get rid of the stupid advertising. Seriously...this is rediculous.

Peel the old ones off carefully, there are screws in the ends of the door rubbers and plastic locator pins on the TTops. Remove them carefully. Use 3M weatherstripping adhesive remover to clean the glue off. Use 3M weatherstrip adhesive to put it back on. It comes in a nasty looking yellow for stock apearence and in black to match the rubber if your not an NCRS kinda guy
