       Worked just fine for me.  Since you have to take out the old trim to 
install your new one.  Try heating it with a heat gun, stretching it, let it 
cool reinstall with glue.  The glue is the trick to keep it from shrinking 
again.  Even your new one will eventually shrink if you do not use glue.
