Unless it's actually damaged it's one of those things that is best left
alone and not touched for cosmetic reasons.
It will be mostly down to the rubber, after that technique. Two of the
latter I'm aware of - push-pull and the one John Twist shows where it is
levered in with a hooked tool bit by bit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTJ-A_-n0_o ; Both need lubrication, and
patience.
Compare the width of the crossbar on the 'T' with the width of the
slot. If the rubber is wider then it's likely to be bowed instead of
lying flat and pop out that way. If it's narrower then it'll pop out
anyway.
