I have removed the 3 screws that hold the old fuzzy strip on. I thought the aluminum track ( that holds the fuzzy strip) would come off the door and the new strips would slide into it. It didn't. What is holding these on? OR don't they come off and you have to slide the new fuzzys in from the front once the window post is removed. If the 3 screws don't hold the track to the door, I think they are pretty useless. I doubt the new fuzzy will will move once in place in the track. Thanks in advance for the advice and guidance.

That track is a pain! The track slips over the door. It is actually a "U" channel. The 3 screws go through the first leg of the channel then through the door then through the second leg. Because of this the screw holes in the strip deform and pull into the metal strip on the door. I little careful prying where the screws went through will help to pop them loose. As for installing the new fuzzy strip; clean the channel real good and straighten the channel it slides into. I had my wife feed the strip into the channel while I pulled.
