fitting chrome window trims?????

Hello all!

Just wondering if anyone know the best way to fit chrome trim windows. I know that you have to have the seals with the grove and the chrome 'piping'

I tried putting the chrome trim into the seal and then fit the window but it was too tight. And also tried it with the window in.

Anyone successfully done this?

Thanks!

Still got mine to look forward to, but did the windscreen on my cab a while back and it is a bit of bugger to fit as really tight on new rubbers. Just take your time and if your aint allready, u deffo need one of these type tools for the job…

See this (can't believe its 5+ years ago…)

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

I did mine in 1 piece, so don't forget the clips.
I got my tool off e bay also.

You could use a little sillicone lub on it if you like.
But I managed with out.
Fairly easy job once you get it going.
