Difficult? Put the rubber on the glass, use some soapy water to help
lubricate
and then feed the trim into the groove, bending down the outer edge of the
screen seal to open up the groove as you work round - ISTR fitting one corner
first, then the other, for each half trim. Shouldn't take long. I think VW
show a wire loop used to open the slot, but I've never seen such a tool.
For fitting the screen with seal and trim, the old string/cord method works
well - you guys with laminated screens can't afford to press too hard or thump
it, but use lubricant and position it carefully as it goes in, and keep
tension on the cord parallel with the glass as you peel the rubber seal to go
inside the lip of the frame.

Subject: Trim my 2 cents RE: [T3] need a windshield
I have never known of a glass place that could put in the old type trim. If
is difficult even for the few of us that have done it more than a few
times. Last time I did it on a 64 bug it took two of us most of the day to
put in the front and back with the trim. My hands were sore for a few days
and I definitely know why the Cal look is popular (but I hate it)
