Engine decklid seal replacement?

Again, sometimes these things just write themselves. :-D

...do *not* pry it open...I have worked on many cars hacked that way. The old rubber should pull out east neough...just pull it out from under the channel....it wiull likely break into a couple pieces in the process. Once you ihva e it out find a small pick to clean any remnants before inserting the new rubber...also before inserting the new rubber carfully straighten any areas that have been smashed closed. To insert the new rubber position bead nextb to channel then pushi it under the channel using a paint stick or similar device sanded to produce a beveled edge. Really a wide scredriver works very well here too...but I do not reccomend it to a novice since it it east to scratch the paint if you slip. Oncve you get the hang of the motion the seal will be in before ya know it.

Thanks for the advice. That's about what I thought but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. :)
