I use the old rope trick for windscreens.
Yes put the rubber on the glass first (I would put sealant in the rubber first). Then put some sealant in the frame before fitting the glass/rubber.
Get some string, and lay it in the rubber all the way round, make a slip knot so that it stays put. Then get someone to hold the screen in place and apply moderate pressure on it. Then from the other side, gradually pull the string out from one end to the other, so that it pulls the rubber lip over the frame. Hey presto!
