Default Door seals

1991 facelift. I pulled the door seals down slightly to change the b post trim( think it was b post) and now they won't go back right in the top corner. Anyone any tips on this area please? Many thanks amigos

Nobody knows what sort of door you have Brinny. Framed, frameless or what. It is rather important to provide these details.

Apologies Greg, I started the thread 1991 facelift which I thought would give enough information. Just to clarify they are frameless doors. It is the seal that the door marries upto when closed I was seeking advice on. Thanks in advance all

Its a royal pain to get in, but doable. You really just have to start at one end and work your way up, or down. Too much soapy lube is bad for this part.
