Hugh, not sure if the rubber section is the same/similar to that on a Ruby but if it is then the string method worked well for me on Ruby.
I cut the rubber section to length and holding it all into place superglued the ends together so the rubber seal was fitted to the glass, you do not want the rubber seal to be a loose fit on the glass. Then with a second pair of hands on the inside to hold the assembly in place against the frame I used the string method to pull the outer lip through. I set the joint in the seal at the top of the window, then with the loose ends of the string at the bottom, pulled the seal through, with the last of the string coming out at the top.
Using a light smear of washing up liquid all around the outer surface of the seal helped the rubber section slide easily through the frame, with the second pair of hands pushing it into place from inside.
Make sure it is held in place till you can fix it
Cheers
