What happens here

To reinstall the weather strip, align one end of the new strip with the groove in the door frame, starting from the top. Push the weather strip firmly into the groove using your hands. Work your way down the frame, pressing the strip securely into place. New weather strips typically come a few inches too long (e.g., 4 inches too long, as mentioned by the presenter). Once the strip is fully inserted down to the bottom, use a pair of regular scissors to trim any excess length for a perfect fit.

Goal: Securely place weather strips back into the door frame

reinstall it, all you got to do, just push it in and it just pushes back in with your hands. Just slide it in. Get it all the way to the top and work your way down pushing it in with your hands. If you buy new ones, they typically come about 4 in too long. and you'll get down to the end and all you do is just take a regular pair of scissors when you get to the end and cut them to fit.
