them in place along with 4 clips per window, and 4 nuts/studs that help hold
the seal in place.

Yes this is correct. It might look strange but that is how they work.

See Travis's web site. But if you're trying to save the popout seal you need
to remove the glass from the seal first, then remove the nuts from the studs
then work the seal over the lip. This should get them out. Reinstall is the
reverse. I believe someone in Canada had a set of these for sale in the type3
classifieds, but I don't know if they're still for sale.
On my wife's car we reinstalled a used set that I got from a fellow listee,
they work great. We had been looking for over 3 years for a good set
(actually a new set) since the car was restored in 1991. I made the mistake
of ordering a set from WCM and then cutting the old set out only to be
informed after I ordered them (a week later and the car was being painted at
the time) that they were NLA, and they were not doing them again (can you say
a change in plans). I hope this helps.
