How do you all fit your glass windows back in?
I'm worried about cracking them when putting back in with new rubbers. Do you use the special tool to help run the chrome effect trim round in the rubber?

Minispares sell one. I've used it a couple of times and it has done the job. It is shit quality though and bends easy

All the big tool manufacturers make better ones.

The tool makes the filler strip easy, but only on a new soft/pliable screen rubber. If you are using an old rock hard one, be prepared to struggle.
