Is there any way to get the Seam seal redone without buying a new skin or damaging the present one?

When they replaced my skin on the drivers side, the seam seal looks fugly! I told them wussup and they said its really hard to get it flush and nice like it is when you purchased the car. I believe only "A" certain dealership or somewhere has that machine. I went to another big time local body shop and they dont have that machine either.

No, it's not much more but then you no longer have a VIN tag on the door which would make the resale value drop if you are selling to someone that knows what they should look for.

Yeah, you can wire wheel it off but you're going to have to repaint the seal...
