Don't use the shampoo full strength; dilute it 50/50 with water or it will dry 
out too quickly and get sticky, which may be your problem. It should not be 
necessary to push it in at all; the person on the outside should only have to 
push it hard enough that the rubber lip falls inside the body as you "unzip" 
the cord.

Not sure I understand the flange question. You start with the glass/trim/rubber 
on the outside of the car, and pull the lip of the rubber just inside the pinch 
weld on the window frame.
