Does anyone know of a good way to reinstall the rubber door molding on a 52, 3100? I am referring to the one that goes in the slotted track. I am reinstalling after paint and having a very difficult time. I've lubed it up with dish soap, spread the track open a little and am now going very slowly with a screw driver. There has got to be a better way!!!

I cut off an 8"-12" piece of the windlace strip and ran it trough the groove/channel. When it got stuck, I spread open the channel enough to continue sliding through the strip. Use a non-petroleum water-soluble lubricant (CVS lubricating jelly is the lowest priced).
