Do you have the correct tools for installing glass in rubber? Takes a special hook tool and a bunch of WD or some other sort of lubricant and if it has a zipper to expand it after the glass is in there is also a tool for that, there are several different kinds of zipper tools depending on the type of zipper it uses. If you don't have the tools I'd call a mobile glass place they can probably install it in 30 minutes or less.
