Installing Windshield Stainless Trim Help

Evening all, I installed the front and rear glass in my 67 Notchback using 68 gaskets. I have the stainless trim and the rear trim went in without any hitches. The front however is being one S.O.B. Have installed the clips on the correct locations but that trim will just not hookup. The trim was already out when I got the car.

Looking for some pointers, special tools, ninja powers or mind melding tricks to get this sucker in. What have you used etc? Pictures of installs..

Spent 6+ hours trying to get the trim in and I'm about ready to throw it under the next truck that drives down my road. Lol

Start from side, top, bottom? All help appreciated greatly as I'm running out of Tylenol !
