I just did mine .... I put the seal into the bottom of the channel, and then used a blunt flat blade screwdriver and pushed the top into the channel. Went right in with no problems. I did push the seal to "compress " it rather than "stretch" it so that amybe it wont shrink so quickly !! Maybe I did it right ..........

Do it like David said. Don't try to start at one end and slide it on, that does not work too well. John |
