According to the shop manual you should put the tape in dry, insert glass then soak the tape.
I put the tape in, slowly slide the glass in place, used a rubber mallet to get the glass to fit, remember to check periodically the glass depth when closed, you don't want to get the glass in to deep so you don't get a good seal when closed to the window frame.
After I had the glass where I wanted it, I used a rag and mineral spirits to soak the tape, then I trimmed the tape after is sat overnight.
Took me about 30 minutes per window on my 55.1.
Hope that helps,
Chris
