I started the installation of new rubber on the top of the door and rear edge window frame. I've tried the four ways that I can think of to do this but am having no positive results. I've used detailing spray as a lubricant. I have noticed that the new rubber cross section view is somewhat different that the old rubber.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to get the job done? (I've thought of KY Jelly but at my age I'd be embarassed to go buy it)

If you put a thin diameter piece of string around the inside lip of the rubber gasket then put the window assembly up to the body, you can take one end of the string and pull it. That pulls the rubber lip of the window frame into the body section of the car. It seems a little strange to explain, but that is how I reinstalled mine many years ago.
