Default Willcox weatherstrip B451L

I have a '78 - replacing the weatherstrip on leftside rear of door glass.
Would like some suggestions/help to make this as painless as possible. I've read some other posts on here, but I'm still a little unsure of how to go about this. Pictures would be great too if possible - thanks.

Post a picture of what gaskets you are replacing. Can't quite figure out from your description. I replaced all my gaskets except t tops a month ago.

Willcox where are you?
Just to make sure to all - I need to know the steps to take to replace the rubber weather strip thats on my '78 that attachs to the body at were the left side door glass back edge touches.
I have a new piece from Willcox (thank you very much - great price and service) and sent them an email asking the installation steps, and got a reply to ask on the forum to get an answer. So here it is.
I already know this piece is a little different on the early C3. I assume I should just scrape the old one off with a chisel, and install the new one with 3M black adhesive - but I want to be sure before I f@#* something up - thanks.

Do you have the assembly manual (AIM)? Your existing weatherstrips are probably riveted from behind in addition to weatherstrip cement.
