Its very easy!! get some cheap washing line Asda Cheapo is usual.

fit it all round the seal overlapping the ends in the seal at the top then get a friend to hold window in aperture then start pulling the line round the window seal.

it all should pop back in takes about 10 minutes.

Also worth noting if doing a windscreen start at the top with your washing line and work down, me and Rich had several failed attempts starting at the bottom which you would logically think to be the easier way.

Ah I could have also told you that if I'd thought about it.

You can loop at the top & one at the bottom, even easier.
