gently and evenly pull the frame up being very careful to not stress the window or the frame. As it gets to the top pay close attention to the rear of the frame, there is a plate on it that needs to clear the door or it may damage the sheet metal ( ask me how I know).
take the frame to a safe place for surgery.
the old seal can be removed by pulling it out of the groove it is in.
Clean out the groove, I used acetone on a rag. Install the new seal. You can do it "dry" or use adhesive, I used a drop of adhesive in the top corners and at the very bottom of the new seal. It installs pretty easily by pinching it and cramming it into the groove. MAKE SURE THE TOP CORNERS MATE WELL WITH NO GAPS OR BUNCHING!
while the adhesive is drying go back and clean the door up and replace the slot seal. I used a wooden wedge to remove the slot seal, it has about five little button clips that have to be gently pried from their holes. You could use your bondo spatula or anything that won't damage your car.
