installing vent window rubber 120-130

Does anybody have any tips for installing vent window rubber pieces? Already have the rivets, problem at this point is trying to get the rubber in position, a whole bunch more difficult than I thought it would be.

Is there any particular section of rubber I should work on first? Should I use dishwashing soap or something to help get the rubber slippier to get into the groove of the frame? Do I stick one side of rubber into frame, then push other end in with plastic edge? I'm totally lost with this project, any advice appreciated.

Wasn't going to sleep until I figured out how to install these things; finally got both of them in place without harming rubber (except for one thumb nail mark, I can live with that). Tomorrow I'll rivet them to the long stainless metal piece with 4 poprivets.

Gonna have to figure out best way to rivet the window latch and the threaded post to the chromed metal before installing glass. Not sure if poprivets will work in that case. Not going to worry about it now, time to snore.
