I was unable to save mine due to the rear corners were too hard and ended up cracking. Maybe if I had tried from the inside instead on the outside I may of had better results. I recommend wetting them down for a couple of days with soapy water and/or WD-40 to help soften the rubber. I soaked my fixed 1/4 window seals for a week prior to reinstallation and it made a real difference. I have heard since that WD-40 will help too. It's definitely not a one person job. And if things go horribly awry there is a set of windows on C/L locally at present.
Good luck.
