Larry, My early trim comes out with the rubber. I had to cut away the inside of the rubber around the opening with a razor blade knife. Of course this ruined the gasket, But I had a replacement ready! Your glass is already broken, nothing to loose. Try peeling the inside edge a little to get it going. Leave the trim in until you get the whole thing out..Bill

>So how should I go about it? First, I'll confirm that the trim does not seem to want to come out first. A little gentle picking and pulling tells me it's not coming out without damage. So I guess I remove the interior trim all around the glass, pad things up, position myself accordingly inside the cabin, apply sneakers to glass and push?
