I worked around mine using a small stubby flat blade screwdriver. A bit of CRC/wd40 helps it go in. Some people use dish wash liquid but the water content can cause rust to eventually form in the channel under the rubber.

Thanks for the info. I finally got it done, wasn't a hard as it looked. The wooly strip on roll up window was a bugger though. Al
