People holler at me when I say "CHECK THE ARCHIVES" so I'll not say that, and I'll try to be of some genuine help. The solution is to remove, then heat the plastic moulding/trim and then it can be stretched back into the correct length. Folks try heating the trim by: 1) oven, 2) boiling water, 3) heat gun (hair dryer type). If you try the oven, you will have to get the correct temp and time from the archives; as I recall, it is about 100 degrees in the oven for 4 minutes or some such. Boiling it, only requires a few minutes too), but don't take my word for it!, check the archives. When put back, it needs to be glued, or it will shrink again.
