Bob,
I just replaced the rubber windscreen seal a few weeks ago. I also
replaced the windshield trim and clip at the same time. For the trim,
it is an easy job, and like Peter states, only thumb pressure to
install. I uncoiled, stared from the bottom middle and worked around
the windshield and had it installed in 10 minuets. I had heard on this
list that the trim does shrink, so I left it un-trimmed for the time
being. It has not shrunk that much, if at all over the past several
weeks.
IMHO, the car looks better with the windshield trim, and trim and clip
only cost about $10.00. Hope this helps, good luck.
