79 Window Seals

Hi All,

I am looking into replacing the window and door seals on my 79 RX, there is a lot of chatter coming from the window when it is apparently rolled all the way up. However it appears to be a 2 part issue as 1) the weather stripping is very sun rotted and 2) the back of the window does not appear to be going up all the way. I have several questions:

How many fasteners are holding the door trim on and Where are they located? ( I have a Haynes manual on order just not here yet)

Do any of you have experience ordering from black dragon automotive? Looking at ordering window seals seen here:

1979-85 RX7 Door Window Rubber | Black Dragon Automotive

Any other suggestions and/or input is welcome.

Thanks

Black Dragon has been around for years.
It's expensive as hell though.

Steele Rubber Products - Quality Crafted Automotive Rubber Parts and Weatherstripping

They may have a universal option that would work
