Best way to straighten bent trim

I think I’ve asked before but can’t find the thread. I bent this new rear glass trim piece a while ago. I’m thinking a shot bag and a light hammer. Anyone have experience straightening trim? It looks like it might be a little stretched. 673FF6D7-4CD4-44BF-AFF7-E58BF86F79D5.jpeg673FF6D7-4CD4-44BF-AFF7-E58BF86F79D5.jpeg1DBB8FBD-BF34-41B0-B360-901914E5AC9F.jpeg86405FDE-1E57-4D93-97FD-EDACB6FBFFCF.jpegBFF1885C-7191-4410-B8C4-F6FC6B7382AE.jpeg673FF6D7-4CD4-44BF-AFF7-E58BF86F79D5.jpeg1DBB8FBD-BF34-41B0-B360-901914E5AC9F.jpeg86405FDE-1E57-4D93-97FD-EDACB6FBFFCF.jpegBFF1885C-7191-4410-B8C4-F6FC6B7382AE.jpeg
 
I used a small tack hammer, anvil and other support pieces when I worked on mine. Got them from Eastwood. Then a lot of grades of sandpaper before final polishing. I was fixing decades of dings and dents though. That looks fixable enough if you take your time.
