I soaked the cord that I used in the channel of the seal in very soapy water. A friend of mine who installs glass for a living suggested that little trick. That was the only thing I did differently from the YouTube video that I found on Stovebolt. I taped the seal to the glass to keep in in place. Set it against the pinch weld, centered it up,did the bottom across both sides up around the first corner. My son just kept a little pressure against it and down . Then just worked both sides up and around the top corner. Then you are home free, Across the top! It had been a long time since I had installed a window with rubber seals. The front clip being off certainly made things a little easier as well. It was way easier than he back window. Mistake I think I made doing the back window was get soapy water on the glass and seal rather than just just on the seal and pinch weld. The seal kept rolling off the glass when it was wet and soapy.
