Anyone have tips on getting the chrome trim in? Tried half a dozen times and I've started damaging the rubber seal around the opening for the trim.
The correct [factory] procedure for installing the [stainless steel] window rubber trims is to put the rubber around the glass, fit the trim in the rubber and then fit the rubber to the body.

We tried that first off which proved to be about as difficult as doing it on the car.

I don't really understand why, as you're dealing with a rubber that is not restricted at its outer perimeter in the way it is when it's installed on the car. It's the corner pieces and centre join pieces that go in afterwards.
The kind of 'mistake' that struggling to install the trim in an already installed 'screen is likely to result in is a ripped or otherwise damaged rubber. In which case it's a 'screen out and new rubber job (expensive!).
I think it's a case of the 'right' technique, and experience. Something they certainly had at the factory...
Yeah after I wrote that I figured that would be a little weird. I'll just grab some stainless ones I should have lying around. They were probably zinc plated from factory? It's been almost two years since I last paid any attention to them.Can you have the nuts, nut coloured? Thing is, then where do you stop? Anything's better than the body colour though, I would agree,
