It took my Windshield guy a while to get it in as well. He was really
sweating. He was originally using a mixture of water and chalk as a
lubricant. He could not get it in with this combo. He started again and
this time used WD-40. He was eventually able to get it to sit in place. He
started on the passenger side.
