[DML] Re: Replacing speakers and follow-up trim work.

["sweetp01569" <sweetp01569@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had a question regarding my assembly of the rear trim panels after I 
put the new rear speakers in.  The trim panels that cover the rear 
speakers, which includes the rear portion of the armrest that 
continues from the door, was glued around the lip that the door seal 
presses on to.  The vinyl trim is very thin where it wraps around this 
lip and was a beast to pull apart!   In doing so, the thin layer of 
glued trim (that is normally hidden beneath the door seal) tore and 
ripped away from the visible trim seen in the car; enough in a couple 
of spots to be visible if reassembled.  I was as careful as I could be 
when prying the trim from the glue, but evidently, it was not enough 
to prevent the dried vinyl from cracking and tearing.  As a result, I 
needed to order new trim pieces.   When I reinstall the new pieces, do 
I need to glue it back, or will the door seal be enough to hold in 
place?
