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.
