I cut and removed the old gasket, smoothed the remaining butyl on the pinch weld, put on the new gasket. Then I started at the right lower corner with the glass sitting on the lower gasket run, then worked it into the low side, started up the right side, across the top, then came up from the left lower corner, and finally finished at the left upper corner. My mistake earlier was trying to finish in the top center and it was just too tight in both directions.
Without that thick butyl rope it's snug but not alarming when prying the glass/gasket. After it seated I smacked it with my hand a bunch too :)
One question though - does the inside gasket lip on the A-pillars go beneath the black trim pieces, or on top? Thanks.
