woohoo, something I can say I know about. The one with the wire looking piece, is useless as t*** on a bull. The tool I used was made for both size locking strips. If ya have one of those tools, the secret is the angle you hold it on.
USE HEAPS OF LUBE. We always used a heap of glass cleaner. instead of a screwdriver, we had like a big plastic paddlepop stick. Half the time it was easier to use that than the tool. Check out your local windscreen place, should only be like two bucks.
I would feed the strip right around, making sure one edge was right under. Then work the other side keeping it slippy the whole time with glass cleaner, and ignoring small pieces I had missed. Then run around with the stick to make sure all the little pieces are popped in, and finally run it around the strip again, pressing the entire strip down. If ya get self locking rubber, all you need to do is get one spot in, then run the stick around, and its all done.
THE ESSENTIAL MINI WINDSCREEN TOOLKIT
If you like doing it properly, I would suggest the following items:
H-Rubber, or self locking Rubber
Chrome or standard Locking strip for the H-rubber.
Household Kerosene, and Glass cleaner for cleaning up excess sealant
Drop sheet, to cover your seats when getting the old screen and sealant out.
Sharp Stanley knife for cutting the rubber.
10 Feet of cord(to pull the windscreen in)
Hook tool(looks like a spastic screwdriver) to pull the rubber tight up on the body.
D-mastic Sealant (THE ONLY SEALANT TO USE)
Nylon Chook stick
Caulking gun
