Did you get the door seal out of the way so that it could clip back in? I think it also joins onto the boot panels but my memory is a bit hazy. Sorry haven't worked that much on 3 doors.

ive sorted it now thanks it was so stupidly simple i forgot about it haha under the window seal is like a flexible strip of metal the panel hooks over this was far to forward into the car so i bent it back and its fits fine now :) thanks anyway
