Hi folks.  Am I being original?  Am I the first person to make an acronym
out of "Tricks Of The Trade"?  Probably not, but regardless - does anyone
know the TOTT for getting window seals put on the doors of a TR6?  I ordered
in the new seals and the new clips and thought (silly me) that installation
would be easy.  It ain't - not for my less than agile fingers.  I've removed
the windows from the doors thinking that would help (I needed to anyway so I
could rejuvenate the window roller-up/down mechanism thingies) and their
removal does give me more space to work - but it also means (I think) the
windows won't go back in.  And I'm not hanging curtains there.

So any advice?  Any TOTT? (as you can tell, I'm rather proud of the
acronym!)  Do the clips go on the door first then slide the seals in?  Or
are the clips put on the seals first?  Does one lubricate and/or use a
special BL Door Seal Installation Tool ($95.00 NOS)?

(and what's the address for the archives that I understand are now up again
and running?).

Thanks for any assistance/insights/opinions/TOTT you can offer.
