Default Re-attaching Lower Window Trim???

I can't figure out how to re-attach the window trim located at the bottom of the window after painting the car. Are there any tricks that anyone could share with me?

If you are talking about the piece that runs the length of the window it just needs to be firmly pressed down and the clips should snap in. Just be careful, mine popped out due to someone trying to get into my car with a slim jim and one of the clips chipped the paint.

the clips bend easy

best way to get this on properly is to:

lower window
remove interior panel
mark window adjusters (gold things at top of door)
loosen window adjusters
remove mirror
install new/orig. seal (make sure long clip goes in correct spot, and clips dont bend)
put back together
