Very carefully............. best if warm day with sun shining on the screen. Feed the plastic in and run round with a special tool to ease the strip into the rubber gap. Something like this - or make a version yourself....

Since fitting a rear screen is an absolute nightmare... a nice bottle of Whisky will be required I suggest.....

We've fitted about 5. Never had a problem. Ok it takes time, gentle "persuasion" + a few rude words
