Kerosene might be a bad idea. You want a lubricant that will evaporate and dry up. I used aerosol glass cleaner that foams up. You might get a couple large work clamps and put slight pressure on the glass pushing and holding it to the channel. Then lightly pound the channel into the glass. The clamps should help keep the area that you are not pounding into the channel. They like to pop out. Do your work on a bench with a blanket to protect everything.
I did and made the mistake of trying to use a regular hammer. I damaged the track the glass sits in. I even tried a little heat, but it still wouldnt budge. I have another track,
I bought a bag of them and a rivet gun.
You may want to install that front SS after you put the window in. Need to align with the door glass to get a proper seal, so may need to move the quarter glass some. Just be careful not to break the section off that attaches to the window "holder".
Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to do. I drilled out the rivets and bought the right sized ones to replace them. Its impossible to try and put the lower track in with the S.S vertical at the same time.
Those straps will keep it straight?

Yes, Cut a 2x8 same angle as frame, notched on edge for frame to set in. This allows you to pull glass in squarely.
