This is one of the jobs I never finished. I installed new rubber squeegies in the doors and when I operate the windows, they pull out. Tried a little glue, but it doesn't hold. Any ideas

Here's how I did it.

First, Mark sent me a new set of them and they look more pronounced if I can use that term.

I worked the metal some more. It was a bit bent up.

Then I slid the rubber in with the help of a little soap.

Lastly, I use a set of pliers that had been modified for pulling plug wires. They were perfect because then crimped the edge of the metal without touching the rubber.
