Default header rail rubber seal

I am going through my xk8 which I have for 8 years. Just replaced seat upholstery, convertible top and head lining.
Has anyone replaced that huge rubber seal that goes up the A piller across the front header and down the other pillar?
How do you get the seal retainer off?

This may get you started. Click me to see scroll down to latch cover removal. There cannot be too much to remove after this.

The seal retainer is that black/chrome metal strip on the outside of the A pillar. How does it come off. I looked all through JTIS.

Do you by any chance mean these seals?



They simply pull off, dont loose the end caps though.
