windshield rubber ?

Hello I am restoring my 1979 Ford F-250 and I bought the rubber with the chrome strip? Does anyone have tips on putting the chrome strip in?

Thanks Sprocketford

When I did the rear window on my highboy I had some soap (the stuff they use to mount tires) I lubed up the rubber (about foot sections at a time), then I used a window installation tool (the little plastic spades) and worked the strip in. DONT USE A SCREW DRIVER!!!! I tried this first and after putting a nice big scratch in my new paint I looked a little harder for my window tool. I would think that any auto parts store should carry them. If you dont have the tire soap I would think a solution of dish soap would work good, I didn't try the ky Jelley but that usually work well too (on the pickup) the biggest thing is that all three clean up easy with water.

Armorall or silicone lubricant spray will help. You can use dish soap with water in a spray bottle also.
