Yeah, that's a real pain! Just had to do that on my '87 Aspencade.
You have to slide them in from the outside edge of the faux tank. It's nearly impossible to do unless you get them slippery first.
What worked best for me was to use some dishwashing liquid and lube them up just a bit with that. That gets them slippery enough to be fed into the slot between the tank halves from the open end.
You don't want to use anything petroleum-based on the rubber (or the paint on your tank). Just use the dishwashing liquid.

Also helps to be alone, with alot of patience, interspersed with 4 letter words.
The last is the reason to be alone!!

I would like to find on. I am missing the top one on my 86 and the ones on my 83 are starting to rip.
Anyone have any ideas as to new pieces. I have not found any weatherstriping that is close to use.
