No luck.
Any other tricks or techniques?

I have not tried this but what if you wrap some heavy duty string of some sort around the inside of the grommet and pull it thru the back as you work it from the outside at the same time. I thought of this after watching a you tube video of someone installing a new windshield in a c-10. I need to replace mine again after installing a cheap one, I also bought the lifetime warranty one from Classic Heartbeat. I was able to get mine in without pulling the tank using a dull plastic scraper...it was tuff though. I almost pulled the tank.
