Window trim question
 
I removed the front and rear window trim to replace the "blacked out trim" for the chrome/anodized look. I started on the back window and the process went well, even with an old rubber seal. I then removed the front trim sprayed w/ silcone and attempted to fit the new pices, but it woulnd not slip in the rubber seal which is 2 yrs old. What can I do better to make the trim catch and hold.
Vr, Scott

I like to use liquid hand soap. It is super slick, evaporates and doesn't damage the rubber. Put some on the seal in the area the trim inserts.

Dish detergent and a little water worked for me.

If you're talking about the windshield and rear window trim, the glass has to be out to put it in correctly.

+1. I assumed the rubber and glass were out on the front windshield.

I am sorry but using soap and water keeps the assembly slippery for several days and can let the trim "pop" out.

I use silicone spray which disappears quickly but not to quickly to let you finish the task.
