Default Help - 1984 Outer Door Panel Seals

I'm finally dusting off my 84 and wanting to put it back in service. I bought some replacement outer door seals and discover they attach differently. When looking for other replacements I find the same problem. I did buy my c4 early in the year. Maybe things changed mid year? The replacement seals have a clip attachment. The originals appear to 'pop' in. I'm attaching a pic in case someone has solved this problem before. Thanks for any advice. - Don

I heard you just put the clips in the holes and push it in. Might need to open them up a touch. If there is a clip in the door might need to remove them.

You need to be concerned with only the number of attaching points and confirm that all are correctly spaced. Check that first and proceed.

Here's a rather old discussion regarding them and a very good friend had this issue and asked regarding his '84. He had no issues.
