  1. Clean the seal and seal trench to remove debris - with degreaser?
  2. lubricate seal, seal trench and new molding spline - What lubricant to use? White lithium grease? DC111?
  3. Insert molding ends underneath existing corner caps
  4. Heat seal with hair dryer
  5. Carefully insert molding spline into seal trench at one corner, making sure not to bend molding. press evenly - use a roller to help?
  6. Continue pressing carefully along the molding until the entire molding is seated
Sound like the right approach?
In the end i bought new seals and reinstalled the windows. the old seals were so dried out that it couldn't the trim.
