The first time you do this you should probably do a test fit on the door without adhesive just to make sure you know how far it actually fits in there. Note that there is a kind of groove that you really have to work the gasket down in to. If you slip the weatherstrip in with the adhesive wet you can slide things around a bit and make sure everything is positioned properly before you leave it alone. I prefer to leave the door open then for a couple of hours while the glue drys." I agree with this. This is the way I have done it. I have tried to do it the other way. If it is wrong the seal WILL rip when moved. My T3 was a PITA so once it was in forget it! The only thing I wanted to add is: I found out the hard way to use a little not a lot. It does not take much and it will run or squirt out. My luck, after I am done and gone to bed, so I can find it later.
