Default 411 Windscreen Trim

The screens have obviously been out of my 411 at some stage, and whoever put them back didn't do a good job with the trim, in particular the in the centre where the trim pieces meet.

The worse spot is the top one at the front (see picture). One half of the trim has sort of sprung out. The clip was held in place with silicone rubber when I bought the car (and it was a bit of a bodge job at that). However, it seems that only the black rubber trim holds the metal trim in place, and the rubber is a bit hard now.

Does anyone know how these things are fitted?
Any special tools required?
Would I be best to remove the trim, bend it a bit and re fit (so it doesn't stand proud like it is at the moment) ?
Or should I just stick it back in place with silicone rubber ?
