rubber trim question

Hello- I had to pull away the rubber trim to take out the torsion bar body plug. Now I would like to put it all back-is there an easy way to reseat the trim in the upper and lower channels? Thanks

Remove the entire piece and then slide it all on in one go. Sometimes you'll need to lubricate it to get it to go back easily. I've used soapy water, some have used WD-40, you may not need either.

Good luck.

+1 on the slide it in method, just make sure it's clean (I don't lubricate but it couldn't hurt).

I slid mine in too. To lube, I used windex.
