Hi is there an easy method of fitting the seals around the outer edge of an S1 fhc window frame and the upright quarter light frame. I just cannot seem to get the to drop in .

Hello Bryan,
If you are referring to the seal in the photo below. It's a 2+2 door but process should be same. I started at the top corner & fed the rubber into the channel using some CRC silicone spray as lube to slide the rubber along.

Try red rubber grease.

Is that seal fitted the correct way around?
