1) Order the part.. do NOT remove the old seal until you actually have the right part . You can prob. find it at J.C, Whitney or any of the VW parts houses (google them ).

2) With the part in hand, check it against the in-place part.. these things are great when they are the right part, but a lot of time they send you the wrong one.

3) Got the right part? ok.. pull the old one out.. you may have to cut it to get a starting point. It is usually just held in by compression, but a little bit of rubber cement never hurts.

4) Stretch out the rubber and fit it into the channel then compress it back into place. Work your way around the door so that you end up with a uniform seal with no gaps.

Like the other guy said, first make sure the new part matches properly.
After you get the old seal off, clean off any residue from the old adhesive.
Apply a bead of fresh adhesive (3M makes a very good weatherstrip adhesive. Go with the black.) to the weatherstrip AND to the door where it will fit using an acid brush.
Let the adhesive get tacky, then set the weatherstrip in place. Tape the bottom up against the door if it sags, (use masking tape as not to harm the rubber or your paint) & leave the door open until the adhesive is cured. (You may want to pull the fuse for the interior light as not to run your battery down.)
Brush the new moulding lightly with baby powder before closing the door.
You're done.

Can do yourself as most is glued and there are a few clips the rubber hangs onto in stratigic points. Just get the rubber and you will see the rest.
