This seems like such a simple job that even I should be able to do it. I tried using soap to lubricate the rubber, and I was able to get it about 8 inches into the channel. After washing that off I tried silicone lubricant spray and was able to get the rubber a little further into the channel, but still stuck about half way. Anyone know the trick to getting these in?

As far as using a tool, I have replaced several rubber channel-type seals on my 914 using a wallpaper seam roller. For me it had made these jobs much easier. Just be careful and, like the others have said, use a lubricant and make sure the channel is straight and clear.
