How do I replace the outer door seal? The one that runs along the window on the outter side. I have two new ones and dont know how to replace them? Any help or tips? Thanks

Ya dew wipe. Thanks man. A + for you.

I find the Rodney Dickman tool to be the easiest way for me. Some say that removing the stop from the window and dropping it off the tracks is easier, but since I can't even understand the instructions on how to do it, then by definition it's not easier for me.

That's OK, I understood the directions and couldn't make it work for me either. It does allow access to all but one of the screws, though...

I used the "no tool" method here

The only problem I had was getting the window rollers back into the track. I found it easier to loosen the track bolts, get the rollers in the track, then tighten the track bolts. Just mark the location of the track bolts before you start and tighten them down in the same location.

I use that procedure but I take out the four bolts, then tilt the track sideways and slide it off the roller. Reverse this step when putting it back in. The two recalcitrant bolts can then be removed with just a Phillips and I hit them with a little penetrent and can even use a small plastic hammer to 'impact" them out so the Phillips heads don't strip.

I've replaced 4 sets so far (not on the same car) and I've often considered putting a sanding bit on the Dremel and making a half-moon at the bottom of the window under each 'hidden' screw, but I'm only ever going to replace each one once so............

Wow, First I would like to thank everyone for there imput! I used the take the window stops out and slide the window back method and it worked great. I don't even think it took two hours to do each window. Thanks again Rich
