Any they're eye wateringly expensive

You may need to get I very thin blade/knife and lift that rubber up to help get the bracket in underneath it even just a corner and then slide the rest in, just by trying to push the bracket against the rubber means you are forcing the rubber harder onto the glass and it'll probably never slide in
