First, I have only replaced windows in bugs, but lets just assume they are
the same. Ok? To put the window in, lay the rubber out on the ground and put
the window in the rubber.  Then using a small cord (3/16" diameter I think),
push it in the slot that normally the metal from the car would be in- this
is the slot opposite of the glass.  Have somebody on the outside of the car
put the window in place on the car while you are in the inside the car.
Slowly pull the cord out of the slot- this will act like a shoe horn and
slip the rubber over the inside metal. You may need to use a popsicle stick
to persuade the rubber & glass to settle.  Putting in a window is really
easy to do.  May want to wear goggles in case you break the window in your
face or something.  I didn't use any lubricant at all.

Cheers and Peace
