Chrome Windshield trim, how to put it back?
Replaced my windshield yesterday; took me a while to get all the old weather-strip glue out of the window channel, no rust what so ever, installing the windshield itself was a pretty easy job.
But unfortunately nothing with these coupes comes easy, I can't get the chrome trim back in place, any suggestions, there must be an easy way?

I have only done a rear window but I think you should have put the trim in the seal channel before you put the window in the car.

bite the bullet...
I did front and rear seals on a 123 I had and you will demolish the trim trying to put it in AFTER the install.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

You will curve/wrinkle the trim trying to install it now the gasket is in..
Bite the bullet......remove the gasket/glass and install trim before going back with gasket.......at least everything is still fresh.....on the otherhand...So-Ca look !  .
