So, if I understand you correctly, when you say the rubber is a "press fit", removal is done by careful pulling? The rubber isn't inserted in some sort of channel? If so, how does the rubber get refastened back into position?...... or...... are you saying the rubber is a press fit into a channel or grove of some sort?

My apologies, I should have detailed that. Yes, it's a press-fit into a channel and stays due to the ridges on the seal. If you use a plastic trim tool that'll help get it pushed in enough and seated.

On my '04, the corners of the seal will sometimes get caught on the clamshell arm covers and pull out a little. I have lots of experience tucking them back in.
