Got Mickey's newest door outer window scraper seals but can't install them with the rear trim pice installed. no amount of pushing/ pulling / colorful language will get the end caps off, even though the tiny retaining screws came out easily. Can't push the seals in vertically , they seem to have to slide in from the back edge.
Do I have to take the door cards or the rear glass sliders off first ???

I know i had installed earlier 914 rubber scrapers on before it went to the body shop, but can't get there anymore, old age ??

FWIW, I managed to install my window scrapers both ways - left side I pushed into the groove from the top. Right side I slid all the way from rear to front with a few dabs of soap to reduce friction.

Followed your lead and forced them in from the top. Had to start the very forward edge in, then used a rolling pin like tool to force seals into groove, took some colorful language to accomplish !
