You will be happy to know it's really easy.
Install the window in the rubber, then with soapy water applied on the inside edge of the rubber, work the gasket over the pinch welded window opening,once you get started you will see, no tools needed.

And just to clarify Chris' statement: the window, rubber and trim are installed as a unit.
I have a trick of wrapping string 360* around the inside of the groove (the OD of the seal) which I then pull carefully from the inside of the window to pull the rubber lip over the flange. It makes it a bit easier on the fingers...
I used the method Rob mentioned.Be careful, however. My string caught a nick in the rubber and started to make a cut through the rubber.
Yep... Husker's point is valid.
A little silicone lube wouldn't hurt here...
