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.
