No

You cannot install or remove them with the window in the car. I see 
John Kowalski has posted that he does this with the rubber around the 
glass, I have had the best luck with the glass removed. Overall I 
agree completely  that you just need to work slowly and be patient. 

I use soapy water as a lubricant.
