Window Seal Clip Tool

A new menber posed the question of "How do you install the window seal clips", or words to that effect.
I know this has been discussed before, but thought I'd share this little gem.
This is from my GT6 manual, but works equally well on the Spridgets.

I'm the new member with the question! Thanks so much. FYI, I manufactured a very similar looking tool from a discarded wiper arm. I simply magnetized the "hook" and it worked like a charm.

I used your previous post to fashion a tool from a saw blade and it work perfectly to install the window seal. It did not work to install the fuzzy strip on the inside. The clip is different. The door is assembled with the glass. I removed the stop to allow the glass to go down further but I can't hold the strip in place and install the clips /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif Any tips would be appreciated.
