Need help in north-central nj

Need some labor help re-installing my 73 Targa rear window. Been trying for 3.5 weeks to get my Targa's rear window installed. Have lots of input from some pros, read every thread on the subject there is and had the assistance of my wife and a fellow Porsche commiserater, but the rubber is just not settling in over the chassis rim at the bottom curves. Thankfully, I'm not installing the wiring for the defrost. This is my 3rd attempt & its really close to actually working out. I need help pushing on the outside of the window. Hoping there are 2 somewhat mechanically inclined potential helpers out there located near north/central NJ available to help me complete this project? If you have experience with Targa rear windows all the better, but not necessary. I'll be more than happy to return the favor on your project. I can't guarantee how much time will be involved, but open to time offers. I have masks and gloves if needed.
Please shoot me a PM if interested & I'll be in touch pronto.
Thanks!
Rob

If it's just a matter of pressing force, do you have a neighbor who can help? Or a local handyman who needs an hour of work? Another option could be to call Safelite and see if someone can help you out.

I have done lots of windshields but never a Targa glass. I understand cargo straps are often used to pull the lower portion of the glass forward and down. Please update us with what works for you.
