I just finished that job today. First I used my vice to compress the steel profile (=track) - there was waaaaaaaay too much play when only one layer of bedding was wrapped around the end of the glass. I thought I got it right but then ...

I oiled the bedding as prescribed, but what happened was, while pressing the profile onto the glass, it was SO tight that it automatically cut off one half of the bedding with the result that that half was just squeezed out in front. Thus the profile acted as a knife on one side. Making a test I realized that the profile was solid on the glass, but I did not like the result.

With a flathead screw driver with the correct width I widened the profile again by making twists every inch. Now, when installing the profile it slipped on maybe a little too easy - afterwards I could easily pull the profile up again - due to the oil.

I put the window assembly away for a while. Coming back later I realized that the bedding has swelled and now it was locked as it should.

PS: I only put oil on one side of the bedding - the side in contact with the profile. First I tried putting oil on both sides to increase the swelling effect - but that was just a oily mess everywhere.

Furthermore: Because I have the economy profiles=tracks, they did not fit the window regulator. With an angle grinder I had to trim off 1/4 inch lengthwise to fit the small wheel.
