Rub rail help

If I pull the rubber part from plastic about 3 ft how much trouble will it be to reinsert the rubber part and how do i do it. Many thanks for info.

Position the top part into the track and use a rubber mallet and drive the lower part in by hitting the rubrail in the center. Work from the part where it is in the track toward the end in small amounts (3-4". A sunny warm day will help since a warm rubrail is more flexible. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
