I used 1/4" rope. With the back glass having the trim already installed. Rope wraped around back glass with about 12" of rope hanging out at the bottom of both ends. Usee some soap detergant on the gasket will help also. Start at one end and go to each bottom corner then keep moving until all in.
On the front you want the rope at the top hanging out and go to each top corner. Work the gasket into the corners with some kind of plastic that want hurt the paint. I happen to have a couple of the plastic tools the window guy's use. Then work your way all the way down to the center of the bottom while your helper is outside pushing in gently. I had no problems at all except working the top corners into place. The trim needs to be installed first also.
