I used a razor blade and scraped old sealant off of the glass.


The trim that fits into the seal was bent, which is typical if it's not removed very carefully. Pulling it from hardened rubber makes it more likely to bend. But, the trim has to follow the curvature of the glass exactly or it won't stay in the seal, and there will be fitment problems installing the glass.


I carefully bent all the trim by hand until it followed the shape of the glass.


With the glass face down on moving blankets with a little support on each side, I fit the new seal over each end. It's best to install each end and then work toward the middle in order to avoid bunching up or stretching the seal and ending up with too little or too much material.


The seal fit the glass very well.
