Morning all
OK, so ive just tried to fit a rear quarter window, with the rubber attached to the body, like with the windscreen/rear window - seems almost impossible. 
Should i start with the rubber attached to the glass??

if you put the rubber on the glass and put some cord in the part that fits in the frame overlapping the ends of the cord at the bottom, you can pop the bottom of the rubber onto the lip and have someone push on the glass while you carefully pull the cord from inside the car. If done right, the cord will pull the rubber over the lip.

When pulling the cord do a circular motion with your arm/hand so it helps lift the rubber up and over the lip, take it slow and it'll be fine
