Replacement Windscreen Trim

[RickyBobby]

Managed to get a few jobs completed on the coupe today including its first exterior and interior wash since I bought it nearly 2 weeks ago.
The previous owner had removed the perished windscreen trim but did provide me with a genuine replacement.
So with the momentum of having sucessfully completed a few jobs I decided to have a pop at fitting the trim - big mistake!
Fitting the side / vertical trim was no issue but I found the top / horizontal trim impossible to fit so ended up giving up and removing it.
Suspect i need to order another trim but before i do has anyone managed this to a successful outcome?

Has the car had a new windscreen fitted? If so, it’s possible that it was bonded into the aperture to high.

Think I probably need to have another go at it with the trim tools rather than the rubber mallet

How did you get on with this? I think my trim is original and has now perished and looks tatty so am looking to replace it.

I had a new windscreen fitted recently. They just cut the old rubber off before removing the screen. The new rubber was fitted to the screen and then the screen was bonded in. The fitter told me it was not possible to fit the rubber properly after the screen had been fitted.
