I guess my main question guys was take off the trim and start from scratch or try to fix in place? got a couple votes each way. advantages/disadvantages?
Had something similar happen, and with a similar cause ...
Advantages to re-attaching the current strip: Probably simpler and faster.
Disadvantages: Potentially less effective - it's dirty (and could be difficult to clean), bent, and might not hold/seal all that well.
Advantages to Eternabond replacement of that strip: Very likely to seal better and last longer.
Disadvantages: Takes longer - you'll have to remove the existing strip and sealant, and clean it up, then apply the Eternabond.
I'd go (and did go) the Eternabond route. The hardest part for me was getting the surfaces clean so that you get a good seal.
