I have had really good luck just putting a little grease (I use clear silicone) and they go in really easy. The problem is that people put them in dry. Just put some grease, go slowly. Should be fine

If you bought the trim clips in a kit make sure the bottom ones are long enough.  On my car all fit good but the lower ones and I ended up having to go to the clip bin for slightly longer ones to work.  Tape around the trim and push it firmly in until it locks.

Try using black electrical tape around the edge. Don't lay the tape in too far, just a little over the crease or you'll never get it off once the molding is in place. Electrical tape doesn't tear like masking tape, & is a little "slick" to help the molding slide into place.
