Work from the inside of the door and make sure the rubber is warm so its more pliable.
When I took my windows out I actually took the windows and gaskets out as one piece. Maybe if you put the gasket on the window and then put the whole thing in the frame at once it will be easier?

Them there Ford guys use a rope tucked into the channel then as one person on the outside pushes the glass and weatherstrip against the body, the one inside pulls the rope and it lifts the weatherstrip up and over and in, like a zipper,,,,,,silicone spray will help,,,,,,

yep, that is how I’ve always done it. also used that method on old bmw and porsche cars as well. we use lots of dish wash detergent, like dawn.
and I use a plastic coated electrical cord. the wife and I recently replaced four gaskets, took us about 5 mins per window and no cussing at each other at all. that’s not the case when I ask her to spot me when backing up the trailer...
