When I was fitting mine I used the little end of the hex tool as the handle. It creaked and groaned all the way to "hell's bells that better be enough". Swung on the rack and it was solid.
No cracked glass and a healthy gap under the cushion to the glass. I backed it back to the nearest locking point and it was still solid.
Things they don't tell you in the instructions.
The markers for the stickers are next to impossible to see without a torch. Much easier with a helper to hold the torch.
The weather strip retainer tool slides in and along from the nearest corner of the glass, piece of cake.
The required torque can be had from two fingers and a thumb on the short end of the tool.
Once it is on and the nuts locked, iT AIN'T GOING NOWHERE!
