For the rubber insert if you heat up a big pot of water and add liquid dish detergent. Let the insert soak for a few min. and it will slide in nice and easy. I'd keep the pot and the rail in it as you do the job. Also try and cram in as much as you can before cutting it off as it will shrink over time.

Thanks, I use to install door gaurds back when not all cars had them and thats where I learned that trick. It works with just about anything rubber that has to slide into an insert.
