Vent window seal replace

Hey all,
I have read that some owners bend the frames open enough to slip the new seal into and then use a vise or other device to clamp it back together. Has anyone used dish soap or is the bend/clamp method easier?

Here is my brief write up since there isn't one specific for 60-66 which don't use a pivot style rivet half way up the frame. I used my dremel to grind off the lower 2 rivets at the base of the frame that hold the curved frame to the straight leg. Once that is done it can pivot slightly on the single rivet located at the top of the frame and allows you to remove the window (the frame has a little flex in it that you have to use to pop it out). Once that is done, you can remove the small Phillips screw located in the bottom of the felt channel and peel out the old seal.

Thanks in advance...
