    I purchased new seals for all my wi does, doors etc. I got the rear quarter ones in first.

    Can anyone who has installed them tell me where the pre cut corner goes? And do I have to cut the others to fit?

    It fits good actually. I'm wondering what kind of adhesive I need to use on everything.
    Parts were ordered from Autokrafters. If you do some price comparing you may or may not find them cheaper from DC or use another vendor.

    I can take better pictures in the daylight. In the second picture you can see at the top where the seal doesnt quite do all the way up. The window doesnt seem to be affected by this put I am going to try and stretch it out some plus the temps are pretty cool here so that may contribute some.

    3M weatherstrip adhesive is the right stuff for anything that needs it. If you are a 1st time user of this stuff, a little practice on something else helps, as it can be messy an learning how to position the seals can be a little tricky. Try not to stretch out any seals while installing. Any auto parts store should sell this.

    I suggest the black also...
    if you happen to get the yellow, that would be a good one to practice with. it will show you just how messy it can be.
