P.S. I had the new plastic chrome trim (picked up at local dealer for a little over $6) installed at the glass shop when they replaced my front windshield, tinted, for $200. They did not charge me extra for installing the new trim molding in the window seal. Unfortunately, I am paying a higher price for the side window plastic chrome trim. > > I had a glass shop do mine and they used a special tool which slides > > the > > plastic chrome colored trim into the window molding.
