P.S.  I had the new plastic chrome trim (picked up at local dealer for a
little over $6) installed at the glass shop when they replaced my front
windshield, tinted, for $200. They did not charge me extra for installing
the new trim molding in the window seal. Unfortunately, I am paying a
higher price for the side window plastic chrome trim.
