rear windshield lock strip too long??

We'll pull it out and try again. The strip is very flexible. We sprayed the channel with foaming glass cleaner and pushed it in using a plastic tool I was given by a friend who installs glass. He also recommended the glass cleaner since it's easier to clean up than silicone. It worked great and the strip went in nice an smooth. Guess we just pulled on the lock strip a bit too much as we did it.

Thanks for the help.
