Unhappy Door seal

I had to buy a the driver's side weather stripe because the old one came out. How the hell do you install it? Any tips from people who have done it?Thanks

The new seal should have little plastic clips that snap into holes around the door area. Took me all of 5 minutes to install both sides.

Right, there aren't clips all the way around. The top just slides into a groove in the door, clips are along the bottom and up one side, I think. I put my old one and new one side by side, so then I could start the first clip where the old one cam out. Snapped clips in one at a time, then inserted the top into the groove-all done!
I used the $50 ones on ebay, they work well.
