It will work perfectly, as it is an OEM Volkswagen seal. Most of the
world didn't get chrome trim; this was largely a U.S. feature. In fact
even in the U.S., most Vanagons from 1988 on lacked the trim as well.
The windows and body are identical whether your van has chrome moldings
or not. Only the seal differs. So if you buy the seal that does not
require the trim, you can do away with it for once and for all with no
adverse effects whatsoever. In fact this is what I would recommend.
Although we do sell both styles (and replacement trim as well), the
replacement trim will eventually discolor just like the original one
did. So unless you really love that look, why not just do away with it?
