Gilles,

I have an 88 Vanagon with the plastic chrome trim in the window moldings.  I
took them all out several months back and haven't (so far) had any
problems.  I did have some minor leakage around the fron window before I
removed the trim, and still do, but I can't say that it's from not having
the trim.  If I had it to do again, I'd try just painting the trim flat
black.
