installing aluminum trim for vistaviews

Hello all!

Well I've resealed almost all of my Vistaviews. I went the route of removing the plexi with the intent of NOT reinstalling it.

My issue now is the aluminum trim piece is a real bugger to get in the trim/track. Any tricks to this? I want it in so I can place proper spacers to hold the windows in place.

Thank you!

Getting the rings in and out is a pain. Make sure it is centered and fully seated. It is a tight fit but will go back in.
