Works like a champ.

And if you don't want to go back in with more chrome moulding but want
the security of locking the window into place and tightening the seal on
the glass,  get some rubber/neoprene window screen moulding from the
hardware store - comes in two or three colors and sizes - and get a
window screen moulding tool, spray the heck out of the groove in the
window seal with WD 40 and roll the moulding into the groove using the
screen moulding tool.
