When I R & R-ed my windshield, I couldn't get the trim back in properly, 
regardless of whether glass was in or not. Then I thought about it and decided 
that if I wanted blacked-out trim (which I did), it was silly to black out steel 
trim, then struggle to mount it on a black gasket....From 5 ft away, you 
cannot see the difference. So the trim's been sitting in my shop since 1991. FWIW-
