what I have been told the easiest (!) way is to fit the rubber to the
screen, then the finishers to the rubber, then the assembly to the car.
Trying to fit the finishers afterwards is a real challenge, and trying to
remove a laminated screen without it cracking is tricky without cutting the
rubber so doing it later isn't really an option.
