How do you put these in the screw track on the windshield

If I recall, when I replaced mine last year with this exact part from FP, I installed with the flat side down, and then pushed the curved side up into the track. I ultimately had to push/pull it around until it sat in the track how I wanted. NOTE: Be sure to cut it long as it will shrink. You'll also likely have to cut the rubber at an angle where it buts up against the base of the windshield frame (hope that makes sense).

This ^^^
Flat side down, curved up. And cut them long so they need to be stuffed in the space in the frame at each end. Get them as long as possible. After a few years they shrink quite a bit. Buy extra too. After they shrink, you can replace the longest ones, and use the old long ones that shrunk to replace the shorter ones on the boat. The material holds up to weather really well. It just shrinks lengthwise.
