I've away preferred using plastic bike tyre levers instead of a blunt screwdriver to put windscreens in, less chance of it shattering or breaking.

But as you doing the locking strip. push the tool into the rubber and feed the locking strip into it while you push/wiggle the tool round the rubber feeding the strip in as you go. using some soapy water in a spray bottle as lube to help the tool and the strip slide in the rubber easier.

Ben_O I put the link to the video showing how to do it with the tool as Lyndsey has it. I was merely stating it can be done without it. I have done it before with a thick piece of string inserted into the windscreen rubbed before fitting it to the car. If you push the locking strip with the palm of your hand you can get the rubber to lift up and over it by pulling out the string. The same method can be used to help get the rubber seal over the actual windscreen.
