Default Rear window rubber

I have to put back in my rear window.. Just got the replacement rubber off some dude on here and its a real tight rubber, im having trouble getting it round the glass, needs stretching to get it all the way and havent yet managed it..
Surely it shouldnt be this hard.. Its almost like it dont fit
Are they normally this hard to get around.. Any tips?

Cheers

a good tight one is hard...

I don't even waste my time. If u goto autoglass etc, give one of the guys a fiver and he'll do it in 30s better than u or me could ever do.

I need to swap my rear window, think i'll go to autoglass too. . feed a piece of string round the rubber sit the window in place, pull string through. . should work.
