A question for those who have been there:

I bought new (WCM) front window plastic trim from Ron Salmon when we
were en route to Manassas. The old trim came out easily and the rubber
seal cleaned up with no fuss. I applied liquid dish soap to the slot in
the rubber trim as a lubricant and then tried to insert the new plastic
window trim. It was very difficult but I succeeded in working in about
one foot length. This was obviously the wrong way and I'd probably
damage the new trim before I swore my way all round the window.

Before I bust something, what is the correct way to install this shinny
silver colored plastic trim into the slot of the rubber window seal?
