  -mark top center of panel (the point where both seal ends meet)

  -remove old weatherstrip

  -remove rust, prep panel, paint or wrap so substrate is clean and even.

  -grab one end of new seal, position on previous mark and begin to roll seal onto panel

  -carefully push up with both thumbs essentially rolling or massaging it up into the channel or slot until top panel is flush with seal as you go

  -corners can be a little tricky due to length, guide seal in that rounded direction so it moves with you making it easier, taking your time follow previous step to ensure flush fit.

  -continue all the way around

  -once at the end you will have extra, fit as much as you can and then overlap the seal on top of the beginning point.

  -using a sharp tool, mark a straight line where the 2 ends will meet leaving no gap. you can start with the 2 vertical faces on both sides and then lift off to trace all the way around with tool.

  -now your trace is complete, use a different tool to make the cut. (metal inside seal) recommend parking brake cable cut tool or equivalent if no electric power tool is available.

  -during the cut, the metal may bend slightly closed making the end too tight, simply pry back open gently with flathead screw driver or equivalent and install the rest.

  -optional: add windshield bond to ends (not required) can also substitute for adhesive safe to use on rubber.

  additional: If cut was short for any reason or accident, cut off more leaving a quarter inch gap and use the remaining seal from the first cut to make a piece that fits. Using windshield bond type or similar to assist. Once seated in place the seal has a very tight fit to panel.
