I was screwing around with an old top and discovered that the old seals on the sides are a real bitch to get out. Anybody got a special technique for replacing these?

I remember installing those seals on my car was a PITA. I think I put liquid soap on them to lube them. I don't remember exactly what I used, but it was still hard to slide them in. Maybe I used Armorall. Recently I had to install new squeegees and fuzzys in the doors and that also was a pain. They would not slide in the grooves, so I had to get one edge into the channel then use a screwdriver to shove the otherside into place. Before doing that I had to pry up the channel all along one side to give a little more clearance. I need to do these top seals on the new V8 car soon so would be nice if someone has an easier way to do it.
