Hi,
This is Kathy Long with DUI. Thanks to KevinNM I came across your post. From the photos it appears you are trying to install ZipSeals in a DUI TLS and ZipGloves in an OMS drysuit. With both of these installs you will want to use a lubricant to install either the ZipSeals or ZipGloves. The gloves can be a bit trickier as it is heavier. Use lots of soapy water and when you get to the point in the photo push that glove out straight and in my experience it will line up and lock in.
Do you have an option of visiting your local DUI dealer? I'll say I've watch my sister Susan Long install gloves so much... she is super fast and it takes me longer.
Please keep us posted.
