Rear window locking corner tabs.... Help

So I replaced my rear window locking strips with a new chrome one but I can't seem to get the corners at the bottom of the window to fit in.

Is there a secret to doing this?

Are you talking about the aluminum corner strips?

I use some soapy water and bend the tabs just a bit, then flatten it out as you press it in. You need a plastic tool to help with it. Also make sure your locking strips are not tool long, you just need a bit to go under the locking tab. They are a pain.
