Maybe for some, but I couldn't get the gasket with trim and glass to go 
into the body recess single-handed. The same gasket without trim went in easily 
with no help.   I stepped back & looked at it and decided that a flat-black 
rubber gasket looked better than a black gasket with blacked-out stainless 
trim on top of it, was simpler to install, much cheaper & more durable in 
color. It also made it simpler to pick up the outside flap of the gasket and 
stick the nozzle of the silicone cartrige under it. I didn't need a needle to 
get silicone under the naked gasket, and run it all the way around the 
windshield opening. No leaks since I did this in 1992. FWIW- J Deryke
