Just got my new scraper material from Taiwan
http://stores.ebay.com/volvopandrewhuang19650312

material looks great - procured 3 Meters as suggested here earlier this month

how do i remove the old scrapers and install the new?

THIS OLD POST by rhaire:
Gently unhook the bent end from around the window frame piece. You jusr have to
loosen the grip. Then pry the scraper straight up with a big screwdriver, using a
putty knife or something to protect the door tape. The whole scraper frame will
slowly lift. Replace a new one with a small block of wood and a hammer to tap it down.
If you want to re-use the scraper metal and replace the rubber, you will have to
loosen the 3 or 4 crimps that hold the rubber in the frame piece.

What i don't understand is does this imply removing the entire aluminum seal carrier panel that it 2" wide and cover the top of the door? Since I am installing new, soft rubber can i just rip out the old junk and slide in my new piece with some lubrication?

i left the Bentley bible at home and am chomping at the bit, considering pulling the car in the shop after work and doing the job
