SO,
I am in the process of repainting my window frames (again). I started with the big window on the driver's side about a year or so ago. It was such a pain in the neck, that I procrastinated on the rest until last week. I (re)started with the right rear bedroom window and it went pretty well. Moving on to the door window, I painted it and started on the rubber.
It has been giving me fits! I have managed to get the rubber in correctly most of the way around (started on the bottom) but the last curve and on to the seam is giving me a LOT of trouble. I've tried tire lube, twisting the rubber and pushing it in with my fingers/thumbs, etc, and several tools, including a plastic putty knife, etc to no avail. It is getting VERY frustrating.
Can anyone help with any tricks ot tips??? I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
