Default Weatherstripping: Help Wanted!

So I have purchased new weatherstripping for the decklid (trunk), felt and weatherstripping for the doors, and a new rear window seal. I was wondering if there is any easy way to replace these, as opposed to a wrong way of doing it. Main reason for this is because I found out the hard way that my trunk and rear window dont hold water, and the drivers side glass rattles and squeeks like crazy. I have no experience with weatherstripping but its seems doable. And yes i bought weatherstripping adhesive. I really appreciate your guys suggestions. Thanks

You'll need to get at least three tubes of 3M Glass Bedding Compound for your caulk gun. If you use less than a tube and a half per glass, it'll leak. Install the glass, caulk between the seal and glass, press the seal against the glass, and fill the slot (especially around the clips) with seal. Install the moulding immediately, or you'll be sorry.

So you're talking about the rear window installation, good information. Anybody know the difficulty/order of operation for the side felts and weatherstripping? Wait you are talking about the rear right?

I thought you were:

… a new rear window seal.
For the belt weatherstrip, you'll need to roll the window too far down, by loosening the down stop.
