Hello, I am trying to insert the chrome trim back into the rubber molding on the back window of a 1977 pinto hatchback and am having some difficulty. I can slide the top and bottom pieces in on the straight part firmly but then can't get the corners in. Do I need a special tool? Or is there a trick to getting that trim back in the molding?

I did not find any instructions in the 77 Ford manual. I do not recall ever installing this trim, so just speculating. I would install the trim pieces in the rubber gasket, then install the glass in the gasket, and then install the assembly into the car. To aid installing the trim, a rubber protectant like Armorall should help make the rubber gasket to be more flexible and slippery. Good luck.

Mine is out a bit on the bottom. If you find a trick to doing this, please post it!

there is a tool to help - bought it and still haven't had any luck on completely installing that trim - my guess is way easier to remove glass - install trim and reinstall glass!!!
