I use string like they used to use for setting up foundations or concrete work. I'd imaging you should have some of that laying around. Run it around the entire perimeter of the weatherstrip. Carpenters includes instructions with their weatherstrip. If you have weatherstrip that is slotted for chrome- the chrome has to be installed before the whole assembly is fitted into place. Ask me how I know that... Learned that the hard way. If you don't have any chrome to fool with it is a lot easier. It can be done by yourself but it isn't a whole lot of fun. I use clear silicone in a caulk gun to seal the glass to the rubber and then i caulk around the metal for the window opening as well, before installing the window. I caulk the groove in the weather strip and then install the glass in it and let it set up before I install the assembly into the bronco. I caulk the window opening right before installation.
FYI, the last one that I did came from carpenters. It had a twist in it that I couldn't get out. I probably spent 2 hours on it. Figured it was like playing with Chinese handcuffs. I ended up getting fed up with it and taking it to them. Turns out it was defective. They actually produce the pieces and glue them together. Someone didn't do such a hot job at glueing/assembling it...
