Hey guys, I need some instruction on how best to install the rear side windows. How do I do this without distroying a rather expensive set of new rubbers?

You need to install a small rope aproximately the size of a law mower pull start rope around the window rubber. Use some dishwasher soap as a lubricant one person pushes from the outside and the other from the inside pulls the rope to bring the rubber lip over the body flange.

This video may help explain the idea. The really relevant part starts at about 16 minutes in but it's probably a good idea to watch the whole thing.
