Subject:Frustrated in Minnesota

The trim around my windows was very brittle and discolored so I ordered all
new chrome painted plastic trim and was excited about how nice it would
dress up the Westy.  It was pretty easy to remove the windshield trim ( so
brittle it busted into small pieces).  I farted around trying to push, wedge
 cram the new trim in.....without any success.  PLEASE what do I need to do
to get it into the rubber molding?

Also, went to change the oil and discovered why there has been a leak at the
drain plug.  The original must have been stripped and they put in one of
those types that have an additional bolt in the center.  Now it just spins
when trying to tighten it.  Should I rethread to different size and new
bolt?  

On top of all of these frustrations....my Packers lost in OT to the Chiefs.
