Quarter Glass side seal

[Dave WM]

this is the vertical one that attaches to the front of the quarter glass with screws and seal against the window frame. 

I am having some issues on the removal, it seems like I need to remove the quarter glass at least at the top (tilt it out maybee?) to get the very top of the old seal to remove. This looks like the case base on the new replacement. It seems like it has to wrap around a lip at the top from of the quarter glass. 

Has anyone messed with these? and if so any tips on the seal remove and install? the screws all came out easy, and I released the adhesive all where it was stuck down (the bottom edge and the top under the door weather seal). The only part that is holding me up in stuck behind the quarter glass at this point. 

I thought I could tug it out, and then fish the replacement back into the same area with some lube and a plastic tool to easy it in place, but it really is stuck in there tight and the old one does not want to be pulled free (it would prob break off the piece then I would have to for sure remove the quarter glass to clear it out to make room for the new piece).

The seal has a tab at the top that makes a 90 degree bend over the top of the frame about 1 inch.  Best to partially remove the window assembly to remove & replace it Dave.
