How did you pull the rear window? Cut the seal, yank it out, than take the trim out?

First you work the gasket around the window, and than insert the trim, wrap a string around the gasket and install. If you bent it that badly you need to find a replacement. If its milky and faded new trim isn't that expensive. I think the dealer quoted me like $150 for all of it.
