    Ok - here you go- get some 3m product comes in yellow or Black-- yellow is # 8001 -just ask on black- auto parts stores have it =NAPA!-- now its glue in a tube!- the seal area on doors should be coated(lightly!!) and the actual seal area =same- I use a small brush to do that too. when the dtuff dries & is "Tacky" - install! might be of some help also to use some tale to secure the seal till dry! Work in small areas only! do NOT!! streach the seal!! do a trial fit before glueing it too- see how the seal fits the door!- orfor ease of mind!! take it to a body shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cheers

    What do you mean by how they go on? They go on the flat lip on the door. I haven't replaced mine, but I've read on here they can be too long somehow, so you def want to check the fit for any trimming needed beforehand.

    2 sides of the seal form a right angle(90 degrees) Those 2 sides get glued to the door, pretty simple actually. When installed, there's a flap that sticks out at a 45 degree angle from the inner right angle section glued to the door. I have no idea why they don't include instructions. I asked them to several times.
