thx!

The clips do come with them, they already attached when you receive them.

As for the window channel along the top - was your old channel really beat up, or...? I think mine's pretty good shape, but knowing how much the door seals help, i wonder if this would be a good one for soundproofing better.

On mine the channel got crunched by a PO and it prevented the window from seating correctly. It mad a world of difference in the seal though. I need to do the other 3, but just havent had the motivation since although some are split they still seal sortof ok.

Alright just so all of you know- if you own an fj60 (62 apparently not) you can do this mod, free. Pull the chrome strips off, and resnap the felts back in. It looks exactly like smokeys pictures, same coverage, everything. You dont need special part #s. The originals work fine if you dont want or need new ones.

Is this the part that needs replaced if the window is very difficult to roll up?

It may or may not help, but one of the biggest factors is the window felt around the upper door frame. That and the fact that the motors are underpowered and still rather weak when they do have full power available (via the relay mod that's been posted), the windows on these will never be as quick as those on a new compact. I'd love to try and find motors from a new vehicle that'll match up with these and allow for a near bolt-in replacement with better power.
