Thought I'd update. I'm waiting on some adhesive remover and will get the surface clean before reinstalling new seals. I may or may not glue the new seals in. It will depend on how tightly they fit. I'll use a thin coat of weatherstrip adhesive that I have if I do glue.

@wrxnofx, the old seals are installed with the holes in against the body. it looks correct but I'll do more research before installing.

I was concerned because both seals received wrer the same part number. I see that this is correct per the various catalogs. The only part of the seal that fits a specific part of the door frame is the upper rear corner. the rest of the seal is made to flex and fit any part of the door opening.

I'm hoping to not have to use glue. It will make things cleaner and easier. My old Mercedes don't get glued in and hopefully Porsche used similar design.

I'll post back (if I remember) so this is complete.

Reinstalling the carpet, upgrading the AC and getting a sound system installed are the last tasks unless I decide to buy new seat covers and paint the car. Hopefully it doesn't take 2 more years for those things to happen. I have 2 barely driving Mercedes diesels in front of the 911. I'm hoping to use the MBZs as wife cars and not have a daily newer than 1986. They're easier to fix.
