And the window seals. The old ones were a bit stiff and let some water in when driving.

Old ones removed.

Mess left behind

I had some of this. Combined with a SOS pad, it worked ok but I couldn't get it all off.

after, not perfect, but it took a ton of scrubbing to get it to this.

I found these things on Amazon for the clips to help retain the seal to the roof.

Clipped them to mimic the original ones. I saw someone else do this, on here.

Got the good stuff

That's it. After the install, I had a tough time closing the doors, the new seals were so puffy. I finally ended up doing it and left them for a week to try and make an imprint of the door + window. Now it's easier to close the door.

.

I have 2 more seals to install for the rear. One around the topper window, and another for the tailgate, although I have to research how the tailgate seal is supposed to install, exactly where it's supposed to go.
