Default Outer Door Window Seal

I have an'88 coupe. Any trick to get the outer window seal installed? I am having trouble getting the spring clips to grab into the holes in the door. I got it on, but it isn't fully engaged(missed one spring clip). So it looks bad. Now it's so tight in the other holes I feel I'll destroy it taking it off.

Any advice?

John

I replaced mine and had the same problem. I took my time and finally got it right. The clips will bend back in place some if you do bend them. That's the best that I can suggest. Good luck.

If you keep pushing down on it you should feel almost a click. They do take some effort on fresh ones. Then get the big ole rivets on the ends to secure it.
