The bulb and flap seals are the same for the tops and the sides of the slides. The side flap seals have one screw installed at the bottom and the top flap seals have a screw at each end. The bulb seals do not use screws to hold them in, but the screws that hold the plastic corner pieces on the corners of the slides retain the bulb seals, so the corners need to be removed to change the bulb seals. It is best to install the side flap seal before installing the top flap seal due to having to slide the seal up behind where the top seal goes. Several years ago, I had to replace all the top flap and bulb seals, and it took me about 1 1/2 hours by myself, first time doing it. I found using a good diagonal wire cutter worked well for cutting through the wire coil molded in the thick part of the flap seal, and then just an ordinary utility knife for cutting the rest of the way.
