How do I refit the chrome trim....
 

how do i fit the chrome trim on the rubber that holds the rear quarter window in place?
does it require a special tool?

it's a pain, but soften the rubber in HOT soapy water and work the trim in with the ball of your hand, fingers and maybe a pocket screwdriver to help the reluctant spots slide in. be sure it's completely in, because you won't be able to do any corrections with the assembly installed on the car.

I realise why its so difficult now the window is in place in the car at the moment so I need to take the unit out before fitting the trim. Is that right?

correct.

May I humbly ask for what I hope is simple advice?
The black metal trim on the outside (Drivers side quarter window) of my 83 SC came loose at the top corner the other day while I was drying my car. A quick search yielded this post. Am I understanding this correctly? I need to take the window out of the car to reinstall the trim then reinstall the window.
Many Thanks for your help.
