how to replace the weatherstripping along the bottom of the door
does anyone have an tips or tricks on how to replace these? they are the ones that go around the sides and bottom of the door and have pins in them, do i need to add adhesive to them or can i just push the pins in and leave them?

Rip the old ones off and clean up the adhesive residue off the top of the door on both ends where the old one was.
Put the new one on and use 3M weatherstripping adhesive on the ends. There's a couple of push pins on the latch end of the door that might need to be re-used if your new pieces don't come with new ones. The rest of the strip has built in plastic push pins that line up with the holes on the door.

Yes, the ends are the only places they were glued on the two cars that I've replaced them on.
