You might be able to find a general illustration online... You have to form around glass first then install

Really you think that I need to form it first!?!? It is the run that has the felt and metal trim on the front and it has the plastic clips/lugs that pop into the door on the back. Do you have any idea how one would go about forming it to the glass? Thanks

I did a Ford truck years ago and that's how i did it. I had the glass out to fit then installed in the door at assy. Yours appears to be a little bigger bead which becomes difficult to bend. take your time

It should flex easily unless they sent you the one for the division bar which isn't flexible at all.

I have found that it is easier to form the channel around the glass with the glass removed, allowing the bead to slide as you bend it. Less chance of kinking it.
