Bright lights. I worked in front two quartz work lights - the type that you can get from Home Depot that are mounted on a pedestal. They throw off a lot of heat, and keep the seal soft the whole time that you are working. As a lube, try glycerin - very slippery and water soluable so there is no oily residue to deal with.
I started at the sharpest corner, and worked around the curve and did the flat front edge last. The front edge makes the rest look easy.
Two keys for me were 1. dont't over-lube the seal. The fit of the seal in the window frame is very shallow and if the seal is too slippery it won't lock in. 2. use a narrow blunt tool to push the seal into place. You need to focus pressure from the outside in directly over the channel. If the seal is soft enough and you can get enough focused pressure it goes right in. Once I figured this out, it took about 15 minutes to do the curved part of the seal. The flat front edge took about another hour per side -- same technique, but the seal is a lot harder to push into place.
Good luck --
Joe
