Roof rubber trim - MK2 16v

[ken16v]

Hi all, I'm in the process of rebuilding a mk2 16v. How the hell do you replace the trim ( above the doors and down the front pillar) once you have removed it? ( got 2 16valves for spares) and I've tried on them, but I can't seem to do it!  Any help much appreciated, great site, thanks all.

start in the middle by the B pillar, then work forwards whacking it down as you go... then work backwards. whack with the heel of your hand. then fold the lower edge lip over and down.
