Question: 1962 soft top front bow tack strip

[DUDLEY]

I AM ABOUT TO INSTALL THE NEW CARDBOARD TACK STRIP IN MY 1962 SOFT TOP FRAME FRONT BOW. I GUESS ONE METHOD IS TO SHAVE IT A LITTLE AND SQUEEZE IT IN FROM THE TOP USING LIQUID NAILS TO HOLD IT. ANOTHER METHOD IS TO SLIDE IT IN FROM EITHER SIDE, TAKING A CHANCE OF IT HANGING UP HALF WAY IN WHICH WOULD BE A BIG PROBLEM.
ANY ADVICE FOR THIS FIRST TIMER?

Thanks, Michael
