Installing/replacing weatherstripping in trunk?

Anyone done this before? I searched but couldn't find anything.

Basically, the weatherstripping (the rubber piece that goes around the edge of the trunk where it meets the trunk lid to prevent water from leaking inside the trunk) in the trunk was cut by the stupid U-Haul guy who installed the light harness when I got a hitch installed there.

It's always bothered me and so I finally ordered a replacement weatherstripping piece from an online parts seller but not sure exactly how to install it. Is it just pull out the old and stick in the new weatherstripping?

Any help would be great, thanks!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Pretty much. You may have to remove or pull on trims to get the seal tucked in and look right.

Thanks, I got the weatherstripping yesterday and it does look like it just gets "tucked" in as there are no holes, tabs, or other attachment sites. Hopefully it's not too hard to put in.
