iirc you'll need to take out the plastic clip/pin with a needle-nose plier.

once it's out, it will be much easier to re-insert the plastic clip/pin into the weather stripping.

yes.

the clip pin is T-shaped but has a hollow stem. pull it out far enough to expose the stem, pinch the stem, and it should come out.

Good job.

I'll take care of that weather stripping for you if you want - I've done it several times on my car.
