Re: windshield lock strip
I just pushed mine in with my thumb after lubing it with silicone spray. I had a couple of small areas where I had to use a large flat blade screw driver but that was it.

Re: windshield lock strip
some soapy water goes a long way, just use a spray bottle. Wd-40 also does the trick. And as posted the tool is totally worth it, i just made my own.

I have known some people to put the rubber on the glass and then install the lockstrip then rope the whole thing in BUT that is the incorrect way! I just wanted to be sure you had the right info ![]() Let me know if anyone has any questions. -d

Re: windshield lock strip
I think being warm is the key, when I did mine I waited till the warmest time of the day and parked it where the sun would hit it as I was putting the windshield in.
