I decided to use a little mechanical advantage today while working on the drivers side roofing.
Instead of jamming my fingers up there, I used a couple of pieces of plywood that would give me some leverage.

As you can see, the plywood gap is just a little wider than the thickness of the roof.
That allowed me to push the roofing in and up, and then squeeze the whole thing together to set the adhesive.
It actually worked fairly well, although it gave me a good workout.
I was still better than just using only my fingers.
