I cant seem to figure out how the weather stripping goes onto the doors. It says you need adhesive between the clips? Also do the pieces that screw to the door use adhesive along with the screws?

Did you buy Metro brand on a purple cardboard, or some other brand ?
I use zero glue on door weather-strips  :alan2cents:

I have never used adhesive on the door weather strip. You just push the clips all the way in the holes ( ( they don't clip on they go all the way in) around the door. Just the ends screw on.

These are soff seal. I'm wondering about these ends. Does anyone have a picture of how the ends go.

There's a left and a right obviously, and the end with the three screws holes only fits the door one way, so that's how you will determine which is which...unless of course they're marked with a L or R  :haha: Look at the front of your door and you'll see the three screw holes

In my opinion, this is the best reproduction brand that has giving me the least amount of problems...

 Well I figured it out. I was confused cause the pieces said left and right, but them ment left and right side of door not matches set for the side ofthe car. A left and right were required per door.

Another question , should the door felts be on first? And should the guides on the inside be touching the door ever so slightly?

Shoooter

Can you adjust the up stops once it's all in?
