Well, I've done this but it was about 8 years ago and I don't remember it
being particularly difficult. I'm sure I would have used plain old
dishwashing soap to ease it and since I do not recall any problems I expect
that worked.
Be sure the tracks are real clean and try stretching the rubber as much as
you can/dare as you pull it in as this will make it thinner and easier to
move along... just don't trim the rubber until it has set awhile as the
stretching will elongate it a bit and it will slowly contract back to the
length it will finally be. >>
Two things
1) Silicone.
2) The bottom "blade" rubber can go on 2 ways - and only 1 is correct. Close
inspection of the new piece may reveal the words "rear" or "back" moulded
right into the rubber. That is the side that goes towards the rear of the car!
