" I thought I had read elsewhere that you could pull out the chrome plastic strips without worry. Anyone care to comment?
Sorry for the previous UNFINISHED message. This is one of those subjects that has been covered adnauseum. LOOK in the archives. I have been driving my Van for 16 years, 525,000 km, without those stupid chrome wanna be window DECORATION strips and no leaks and no windows have ever fallen out.
