I just redid mine on Sunday. You have to place the gasket in the frame
first. The using a liquid detergent (Dawn was under the kitchen sink) Make
the edge of the glass slippery, not dripping, with the detergent. Slide the
top of the glass into the grove and take a small hard plastic stick and
work the lip up over the glass. Don't use a screwdriver because there is a
chance of chipping the glass. Work your way around the frame equally on
both ends. Once I got to the bottom I used a piece of weed wacker line in
the bottom grove and pulled the bottom lip out over the edge of the glass.
Took me about 2 hours to figure out and easy way and this worked for me.
