Get a couple of those body dent pulling suction cups on the outside of the window, run a clothesline through the handles, tie the clothesline to anything you can to support the window, and you won't even need a catcher.

Getting the window in: put the new rubber around the window glass. Put the clothesline into the outer groove with the ends crossing each other out the bottom. Hose everything down with dishwashing detergent. Place the window rubber over the bottom blade of the window. Have an assistant outside pressing in while you pull the line out in such a way that the inside rubber lip pops over the blade. Work the middle toward the ends, turn the corners, work up and finish at the top with outside pressure from helper.

Have a cheap Harbor Freight upholstery tool to pry the rubber lip over the blade of the window opening when the cord just won't do it.

Repeat other side.

Stand back and admire.
