Installing door seals

[ImNoSpaz]

I was about to get the 3m weatherstrip out to do the new door seals, and figured I would ask the best way or best place to start schmooking? I know how to do it by starting at that sharp corner and get going, but Im curious as to the amount of 3m I would be using up. 15 bucks a tube! I'm used to these seals having the wind lace attached where you could get away without any adhesive by pinching the wind lace tighter. But the new stuff isn't that way. I expect this new cheap stuff will need to be replaced a lot sooner than normal and don't want to rip too much paint off then.

Should I just adhere the new seal on the back side (interior side)? The front and backside? Or just the bottom of the edge where it bends over the metal? It does not bend, but it might get my point across saying it that way.

Thank you

It takes very little to do the job, put it on and if you have a small brush spread it thin.
stick the weatherstrip about a foot at a time,.
Use some metal spring clamps to hold it in position.
When you get it all the way around, take off the clamps and close the door.

There's a how to video, which of course I can't find right now, that shows a very easy and clean way to install the weatherstrip. Basically, you spread a thin amount in the rubber groove and on the pinch weld. Wait just a little bit for the adhesive to tack up on both surfaces then apply the weatherstrip. Pretty much stays put by itself, worked well for me, and no leaking wet adhesive going everywhere. Like Astro said, do a little at a time so it doesn't dry before installing.

Thanks guys. I found a bunch of videos and now probably going to change to the pinch on type.
