A complication. Two of the retaining clips pulled out of the door when the
inside scraper was removed. Only way to get those back in the door as I see
it is to remove the door panel to gain access. It's a PITA job at this
point. Should have been easy as pie!

In hindsight, I'd skip replacing the vent window seals. The
replacements don't fit well and they're a royal pain to replace. As
near as I can tell, they don't get rid of the whistling either. I
can't really tell because they're pretty much inoperable at this
point. If you want to go ahead and do it anyway, I'll be happy to give
you the tips that helped the most for me.

All the rest of it's easy as pie if you follow the video...
