The ends of the door seal have screws in them, which makes it necessary to remove the door panels to access them.

Re: Door Weatherstripping installation

Is there confusion here? The Rockauto part shown is the door seal that starts top of door at triangle (A pillar) and runs around the bottom of the door and back up to B pillar. But you mentioned "inner top" and "door panel" and "rail" - which sounds to me like your talking about the inner window sweep, which is somewhat ridgid, straight with a felt-like edge. That Rockauto piece shown is not an inner window sweep.
