The difficulty arises because the new gaskets aren't exactly the same as the OEM. The groove for the chrome is close,but not the same. Then if the mouldings got tweaked during removal or storage, that compounds the problem. What I'd try is putting the gasket and mouldings on the glass, as well as the pull rope tape it all together with masking tape over the edge, then let the whole thing set for a couple days so the rubber can start to relax, then install in the truck. Good Luck. John
