clear flexible silicon is a good trick to stop those leaks. Thats what i did.

1) I got a cup of water and started pouring over the weatherstripping

2) Check to see where the water is dripping through

3) Dry area and apply clear, flexible silicone

4) Let dry and repeat steps 1 to 3

5) Once all leaks have been sealed go to an autoparts store and buy some weatherstripping grease and apply.

You are now finished and have no leaks, enjoy

I wrote a quick review a couple of years ago. Not much info on installing and tricks there.

Best thing to do is, get started, and then post any problems you run into. I think it would be way to long to try to write up all the pieces and how to each one. Most of it is pretty easy to figure out.

Good luck.
