I use a paint stick sanded down so its round at the edges with a long smooth ramp from the thin end to the thick part.

Re: Windsheild lock trim
The tool makes it a lot easier. It works kind of like a sewing needle. The lock trim slides into the "eye" of the needle and the edges hold the groove open for the lock strip to fit in. As with many jobs, the right tool does wonders.
