I have a bobcat 853. I am trying to install the to window for the cab so far it has been next to impossible. The seal has to stay in place I taped it on the from side since that is the only place you can wrap the tape around. Now trying to install the window into the grove and the glass will now go into the grove. Does anyone have any advice or has anyone been successful installing the top glass in one of these. Looks like this ebay listing Bobcat F Series Top Glass Window 763 853 863 864 873 953 963 Skid Steer Loader for sale online | eBay

That looks like it needs to be installed by what we used to call "cording". You can see this done in this auto glass install video. No connection with Steele products but used them many times in auto restorations.

Thank you good advice I also need a suction cup install tool which I just ordered. That will be the trick I bet since I will be able to hold the glass with one hand and use a tool to hold the rubber seal up so the glass slides in easily.
