Another trick I have seen used is to use two of the 'bridging' clips, using
one at the top of the windshield frame and one at the bottom. Makes for an
effectively longer chrome trim piece!

Sure. But be aware that the beading may shrink. I had mine
professionally installed using the beading sold by Moss. Looked fine
for awhile but then began to shrink until the gap is now too great to be
covered by that metal clip that is supposed to hide it. I think those
clips come pre-cut to one size (about 1.5") else I would get a longer one.
You may want to have them leave the beading as long as possible so
you've still got some material under the clip as the stuff shrinks.
