LIGHT AT THE END OF A LONG TUNNEL

This journey of restoring my 55 F350 has been a long tunnel but I'm catching a glimmer of light at the end.

So I'm putting in or rather trying to put the window tracks and the window fuzzies in to the door. I've tried lubing with graphite and vaseline but still I'm unable to push the tabs into the slots.

What am I not seeing? Anyone have any suggestions?

I know what you mean with those tabs. Sometimes you think the light is a freight train coming at you. Keep trying they will go in eventually.

One of the challenges I had doing this was it turned out I still had a couple of old broken ones in the holes. My vision isn't great & I just didn't see them, so make sure you have open holes where the tabs go. I marked where they were so I could push directly on them & got it done. It took a little more patience than I expected. Good luck.
