Stainless Steel Windshield Trim
 
Has anyone here had any experience installing or having installed a stainless steel winshield trim? My body man and the glass guy had a devil of a time getting it in. I guess the lower right corner kept popping out of the rubber channel.

I'm not sure if the windshield rubber is to blame or the stainless kit. The original stainless seemed to work fine. . . though it was beat up. Any ideas would be helpful! :banghead:

The rubber was correct and the trim was new from Brothers . . . .

Maybe the glass guys just suck.

I bought 2 different seals from 2 suppliers and no luck with either.

Trim
 
It's my understanding that the trim goes on the rubber gasket 'before' the glass goes in the gasket and windshield frame.
Same thing happened on my blazer, we found this out only after the windshield had been installed :banghead:...still need to remove the glass again and install the trim :rolleyes:
