To "END" this thread let me first thank Lonnie for posting the pictures for me. They were the clincher. I now have the retainer on the passenger side but would like to make a few comments about putting it on.
At first I made sure I had my weatherstripping on correctly and glued real good. After looking at the pics I was still uncertain if I could get the retainer "pushed down" enough to get the screws in it so here is a trick or two that helped me.

First I moved/wiggled, and held the retainer so that I could get ONE screw in on the end. Once I got the screw started good I was able to get the retainer to "lay" down on the weather stripping pretty good BUT I still could not get the retainer and door holes to line up. I tried to use a small punch to line them up but it didn't work so well.
So, I skipped to about the center of the door and then took a good size screwdriver and put it in the "groove" of the retainer and pushed down real hard. To my surprise it was just enough to line up the holes and get the screw started. I did this at each hole and as I went along I kept "flipping" the bottom edge of the weather stripping itself to make sure it was all lining up right. Tighten each screw a little at a time so the retainer tightens up evenly to avoid putting a "dent" in it which it will if you tigten one screw all the way before getting the others lined up and tightened a bit.

I did not have my camera but will still take a couple pics and post here for posterity. The trick is to make sure the weather stripping is on right... and get the retainer turned correctly.
Thanks again to Lonnie for posting pics.

Stovebolters are ... Grrrrrreat.

Here are MY pictures after completing the job.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
