What's the trick for installing targa seal Options

OK, I'm stumped. Videos show that you can pull the seal down the channel, or work it in by levering one edge over the channel, but I can't make either method work. I can pull the seal about halfway before it stops. Seal is just too stiff to lever it in from one side.
There must be an easier way. Using WD40 and silicon spray for lube. Any advice? Thanks, John

Just did this a few weeks ago…forget the push pull! It doesn’t work. Get this plastic tool from harbor freight, it comes with a set of 4 for less than 10bucks. Use the soft soap as instructed above, but put the seal all the way in the track on one side. Look closely at the rubber seal and you will see that one side( I think it’s the side that faces out of the car) it has more involved shape with more curves, that’s the side you install all the way. Then use that tool to work in the opposite side while pushing against the side that’s already in. It will go in easily about a half inch at a time. I had to completely disassemble the tracks on both sides of the Martha top and bend the tracks to accommodate the seal to fit properly against the glass when completely rolled up. It took about 3 times on each side, so I had to find a better way! It really is easy with that tool, it doesn’t scratch or bend anything and for some reason with the angle of the tool on the side with the two fingers, it just works that rubber right in. Hold the tool with the fingers facing down and use only one side of the fingers to work it right in. Don’t forget the SOAP!
