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
