Window seals

My top was replaced recently. When I got it back, during normal, smooth road driving (with the top up) I would get a popping noise from the passenger side rear window area. If I put the windows down a tad (so they weren't touching the seals) no popping.

The dealer replaced the two seals around the passenger rear window, problem gone. I'd like to replace the horizontal seal over the passenger front window, and all 3 seals on the driver's side.

Has anyone done this? Does it require a degree in engineering? I asked the dealer how much to do the driver's side and they said $450. I freaked.

Can take a look at what the parts would cost separately here. (Most likely under seals & modelings).

Cant get a good picture, but I do not see any hardware in the parts diagram. These may just have a lip that goes into a steel channel. They may simply pull out of the channel then you re-install by putting in one edge the work the second edge in or you may be able to raise the front of the top to expose the the end of the channel and use a silicone spray on the sela and slide it into place.

Thanks!! If I'm reading things right I want the seals, not the rails.

Anyone have any instructions for removal/installation? Initial glance at mine it didn't seem that straight forward.

Yes, my post is for the seals and not the rails.
