Did it as well, since have switched rub rails. Fairly easy, use 5/8 inch rope as well.
The round butt end of a craftsman screwdriver wedged into the rail makes it easier to slip the rope in right behind it, slide it along as you go.
I used Dawn dish soap too per Lumberslingers suggestion
Leave some extra hanging down into the splashwell for a couple months for when it shrinks.
If your rope is pretty old and eat up with UV it can be a little messy taking the old one out.
