Is there an easy way to install the trim into the w/s rubber gasket on my "49 F-1 ???

Well I'm lucky , I have a Glass shop 2 blocks away and the manager and assistant manager have worked together for 32 years and will come to my home shop to help with install problems . The point is depending on where you live check around . If you want to do it yourself use lots of soap and water and tap in slowly with a soft rubber mallet .

I assume the gasket is similar to '41-'48 Fords. Make sure the edge that gets inserted into the rubber is rust/dirt free. I fought the trim on my '41, with soapy water. No luck. I tried smearing grease on the S.S edge and It slipped right in. Worked from the center bottom around to the top
