I finally got tired of having sticky glue exposed and gaps in the corners of the door due to the original factory trim shrinking. So I decided to replace it. I know that other guys have done this mod already, but I didn't see it posted on Jetboaters.net yet. Also, thanks to Julian for providing me the correct item number to order.
I started by ordering self gripping plastic edge trim with metal core 9/64"-1/4"opening 21/32" H, White 10' length, item # 8451A61... from McMaster-Carr It cost $11 plus shipping.
Here's what I used to complete the task.
1. Replacement door trim
2. Goo Gone
3. Cloth Rag
3. Something to cut the door trim
First I started by removing the old trim. It was glued on, so there's a very sticky mess left behind.

Next, I used Goo Gone to remove the glue with a cloth rag. Don't use paper towels, they will stick to the glue.

Once the glue was cleaned up I simply pushed on the new trim. I started and ended on the hinge side to keep the seam out of the way. Also, expecting that this trim will probably shrink a bit, I made every attempt to push on as much as possible. When I cut the end, I added at least 1/3" extra which worked itself out as I pushed it on.
The trim has a metal banding inside that helps hold it in place. Here's the hose cutter that I used to cut it with.

Here are a few pics of the finished look.
