The inch and 3/8 wide trim is becoming unglued from the cockpit area in my 2007 282 Sailfish. I have purchased replacement material from the factory. Has anyone ever done this? Any tips you can share? Any videos available on how to?

I just did this project, there's a thread on this site. The replacement trim should have it's own adhesive backing, right?
I peeled away the rest of the trim, used a razor blade/acetone to remove old glue and residue. Clean with isopropyl alcohol before application. Apply slowly with a lot of pressure as you go.
I made a small roller from 2-3" PVC and rolled it back and forth while installing.

I did it too. @Bayhouse has it right. Remove all traces of the old and clean with acetone or alcohol right before application of new. I found that "pushing" it a little bit into the inside corners and having moderate tension on the outsides worked well. I used a utility knife with a brand new blade and a speed square to cut. I found that I had to do a little "coping" to get a perfect fit in some places where two pieces join.
