Whenever a windshield replacement is quoted on these cars the trim is always included because most of the time its destroyed getting it off.The trim has double sided tape that helps seal it against water.Lacquer thinner and some patients works in removing the trim.One positive note on using the original trim,the holes for the trim were drilled as the trim went on the car,new trim and your drilling more holes,at least it was like this when I replaced the windshield in an 84 I had years ago,that was a total pain in the a$$ job.When I did this I bought all 3 pieces of the trim new,couldnt see paying that much for the trim that looked like crap so I didnt take one side and the top piece but kept one side for paint reference.When I was desperate for cash months ago I couldn't give this piece of trim away,glad I kept it.
