The best way to do it is to bend it at the middle so the channel opens
up wide and fit that onto the bumper, then do the hammer trick the rest
of the way.

Soapy water for lube. Works like a charm, can almost slide it on by hand.

I felt like a real champion when I discovered how easy it was to mount
the rubber strip on the rear bumper of my son's 1985 300D. Just whack
it with a mallet the length of the rubber and the strip pops into
place on the steel flange of the bumper.
On my late111 coupe, however, I had no such luck and had to
laboriously lube and thread the rubber the length of the bumper. When
I tried to bash it into place it just made the car vibrate and had no
effect. Is there a shortcut? Both the 123 and 111 or 108/109 rubber
strips are similar in that they are designed to inerlock with the
steel part of the bumper...
