thanks all for your input......went with the sticky soap soap solution...started top corner and down top first then side then finished with the bottom.....had a great tool hanging around that came in real handy......it has a short handle with two 1" dia. wheels about a 1/16" thk with a grove on one wheel and curved on the other......it is used to install rope like gasket when replacing screen int aluminum screen windows ......WORKS GREAT.....wedge gasket in first to get in placee then used roller tool to push nicely in place...very little risk of damaging gasket.......first window took me about 1/2 hr second about 10 min...
Glad i didn't send parts back!!!!!!
Again thanks to all replies
