I am adding to a Forum string from 4 years ago, hoping that this might be the right place to ask a follow up question.

Some of the rubber weatherstrip/gasket has come loose on the passenger side front door of my 2005 Honda Element. The gasket is secure at the top and also at the lower side from about half way down the side of the door.

Is there a trick to getting the gasket secured back into the tight, narrow slot in the door that holds the gasket in place?

I’d rather not take the whole gasket off to maybe have to “slide” the loose part into the slot, but I’m having trouble using something like the end of a plastic auto trim removal tool to force it back in.

I’ve attached a photo to show more clearly the current state of the loose weatherstrip/gasket.

Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks!
