Default Mugen Hardtop rear window question

I just got my hardtop back from getting it painted this afternoon. My question is how in the world do you use the rope trick in the instructions to get the rear window in? I was at it for about 2 hours this evening and just gave up. I tried searching but couldn't find the right thread I was looking for. Any info would be great. Thanks

you need a second person to press the window in while you guide the string around the molding. start from the the top, and slowly pull the string around from the top left and top right until you reach the bottom.

I was able to get it in myself. It's a whole lot easier with two people. The rope when tucked in helps open the groove, so once you pull the rope it opens the groove, just make sure that once it's open you have someone or yourself push down from outside.
