I have done a few, if the windshield is in that is the hard part, try a
lubricant that easily cleans or dries off, soapy water, window cleaner.
Warm sun will soften the rubber too if you are working somewhere cool.

Moss and most of the other suppliers sell a tool that is supposed to help
make the job a bit easier. If you search on =E2=80=9Cwindshield weatherstri=
p
beading tool=E2=80=9D you should find it. I cludged together something simi=
lar from
bits I had laying around in the shop when I did mine. It was a fiddly job,
but with patience, it goes in.  As I recall, a bit of soapy water helped.

Good luck!
Mike

Actually the windshield is identical to roundtail Spits and GT6s as well.

I use Windex and lightly use a rubber hammer to push the trim strip in.
