I have the new molding but it is extremely difficult to push into the slots around the windows. Also, should the "cut" be located at the top of each window? Thanks. In the process of restoring my 16.

Obviously you want to keep the angle of the holder very narrow to the glass and tap gently. Worked very well and saved my fingers from becoming raw.
