Be careful not to bend the trim either..

If I recall, there is an internal metal stip (that sometimes rusts and makes the trim bubble).

If you flex the trim, you end up bending the internal metal strip, and can *never* get it to bend back properly, so the trim will then have a permanent 'wave' in it..
