Reply to "Seeking advice regarding softening or stretching the rear quarter window gasket"

I used the hot water technique. While not perfect, it certainly did allow for the new rubber to be stretched over the “third” corner on this window. The glass is sturdy, no issues or concerns w/fracturing it as it stood up well to the pushing, pulling, and pressure. I did use some liquid dish soap to help grease the sleeve the glass fits into. This is a one person job, no room for another set of hands, but it did take a full fisted grip to pull/stretch the rubber over the final corner of the triangular glass.
