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 ??

You can stretch the rubber by pulling it to help press it in. This is the easiest method. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Yes that worked for me with your parts,I then bunched it back up to allow for the rubber relaxing back...it worked as I have no gaps after fitting them a while back.
Good part works well,my old ones had gone really hard and worn.
