Sliding rear window

I bought a rear window seal from lmc. I been trying to get it on the window frame , but the sides are bulging out. It’s real hard to get it started. I think the slider is aftermarket if that matters. It’s a 79 150. Is there a trick to get this on?

My body guy when he painted my truck installed the rear slider window and seal….he said he had no issues with it. Came from LMC as well.

I used a heat gun to warm up the seal as I was pulling the cord to get the window in. Made it much easier to get it to go on.

I didn’t even get to try to install it because I can’t get rubber on the frame. The video is good but it
just shows the guy installing the window.
