Hello,
When I got my new windshield installed I had to look far and wide for a
glass shop that would do it. The guy that did mine explained to me tha t it is
basically an all day job. You wrestle with the trim for an hour then get
aggravated to hell and walk away for a couple of hours then you tackle the
next piece of trim then walk away for a few hours etc... I was GLAD to pay him
the hundred bucks to do it for me.
