Call me stupid
Trying to fit new pop out frame seals not glass to frame.
Is the small bead on the seal meant to be pushed into the channel running around the edge on the frame ?
Just on the one I done when I close the window the seal pops out.
It's driving me mad.
Thanks

Yep - it should be T shaped and sit round all the way so effectively the window frame has a rubber edge.
It's a tricky operation, some people use talc to help smooth progress, some use silicone spray, although if using paint anywhere after fitting the rubber be careful as silicone spray will give you fish eyes in the paint.
I found a wooden chopstick handy to push the rubber lip in.
