I have tried every trick in the book to get my window trim back in the quarter windows on the 81'. I even tried DR's speaker wire tirck with no luck. Anyone in the DC area want to make an attempt at it? I will gladly pay for your time.

Have you already installed the rear quarters? If so, the trim installs much easier if you install prior to putting the windows back into the body. Although it can be done, as I understand it, it's much more difficult with the windows in place.

I took a q-tip and dipped it into bubble solution, yes, kid's bubble solution, and lubed the channel. The bubble solution is extremely slippery and this allowed me to get the trim started and slide into into place in the channel with some effort. Be careful to not force the trim so much it bends or breaks.

Dry method is talcum powder, plenty of it. Wet method is hand soap, the cheap kind that is slick. You can also have someone on the inside lay on their back and push outward some on the quarter window while you feed the trim in the channel. Not to hard with the pushing, just enough to open the trim gap.

Just take the window back out, install the trim, lube the inside of the rubber channel that wraps around the window frame on the car. Then take a 3/16 or so nylon rope and insert it all the way around the inside of that channel leaving 12" or so on both pieces of rope where they wind up meeting each other and hang them over the window frame to the inside of the car. Place window in frame and reach inside( hatch is open) and apply pressur where the ropes are. Grab one and pull it toward you as you walk the pressure along the window following the ropes progress. You could put a window in in 5 minutes or less using this technique.

I installed mine dry by inserting some plastic covered electrical cable into the trim aperture in the rear quarter window that was sufficient diameter to open out the aperture as it is pulled out.

I then fed in the trim at one end and as I pulled the electrical wire out from the same end and as it opened up the aperture I pushed the trim in adjacent to the wire being pulled out slowely.
