Default door waist seals

hi, Can anyone help me with some advice,
I have ordered a set of Door waist seals for my X-Type, mine are blistering,
Can I ask if they just pull off and push back on or are there any clips needed,
Thanks Steve

To remove: Lower the windows and just pull the old ones up with your fingers,


To put in the new rear ones just put them over the lip and push down making sure the clip at the front engages.


The fronts are removed by lifting rear edge up and sliding them out from under the mirror.


Before you replace them, hold the old one up to the new one and put a mark on the new one where the old one was indented by coming into contact with the mirror. That will let you know where to stop as you slide the new one on.


Then, just push it down to lock it into the groove, and you're golden!

De nada!


Mine were roached when we got the car, and I was pleasantly surprised to find how easy they were to replace.


Looks like water gets in behind and rusts them out.
