door seal window channel replacement

Just got some glass channel runs, door window seal - outer, door weather strip from Black Dragon. Are these hard to replace. Any tips I should know? Nothing in the manual on how to do this. I have an 81. These are sure gonna improve the looks. The window channel is missing on the drivers side so when you roll the window down it rattles like its gonna break. Thanks in advance.

You will need to pull the door panel, other than that, it's pretty straight forward for the window runs. For the door gaskets, make sure the snap in pins are lined up, they usually break if you try to pull them back out of the door. If you get them out of order, leave them in the door and take them out of the seal instead. For the outer door to glass seal, a little W-D for lube helps them pop into the groove easier. They may seem long at first, don't trim them, they will shrink up later.

I bought these for the door seals...cheaper than Black Dragon and very easy to install:
