911 Window Moulding

I finally decided to replace all the window rubber and headliner on my '78SC.

Everything has gone really well right up until I started putting the windows and new rubber back on the car. The windshield was easy, but for the life of me, I can't get the trim moulding on the rear quarter windows into the new rubber seals.

I imagine this has to be done before the glass is put back in the car, but no amount of pressure will get the barb on the back of the moulding to stay seated in the new OEM rubber I bought. I've tried using a soapy water solution to lube the seal, but it just doesn't stay put.

Does someone know of a trick to this that I'm missing? Thanks.

Most common process is to install the seal onto the glass and then install the mldg. You might have to "fit" the mldg to the seal a little to get the contour just right but the aluminum is very soft and easy to form.
