Need some help with wing windows?

I am in the process of rebuilding the wing windows on my 78' project.

What (if any ) are the tricks to getting the rubber back in the frames? I'm havin' a heck of a time! I have a complete kit with new rivets and such. It just ain't easy. I am also trying not to bend the frames all out of shape while doing it.

Thanks in advance,

Yes, it's a hell of a job. Soaking with WD40 makes it a little bit easier, but nonetheless I spent a few hours to get it done. Unfortunately there's no trick to make it easier.
I wish you strength and patience.
