I'd entrust it to a windscreen fitter.

I have both the front and rear strips sitting in a box for the last 6 years! I never got around to or knew how to fit them! So interested in this too!

On a 2000 Estate which has a similar C section S/S trim.
The fitter put;

the rubber on the glass,
the trim on the rubber,
the assembly on the car.

My windscreen fitter fitted the C-section stainless trim to the rubber, then fitted the glass inside the seal, and then fitted the whole lot to the car, top side first and pulling the string through along the bottom. I had to remove the dash crash pad for him to do that.

'Twas a barsteward of a job, and took several visits over several months. I wouldn't be surprised if he is now in therapy.

...and you’ll STILL get the same mixed response, there’s no hard and fast way of doing it. If you want a definitive answer, get someone to do it and the way he does it will be the right way.
