Windshield with chrome trim

Is there a snowballs chance in hell of sliding the chrome into the corresponding gasket after it’s installed into the truck? Or am I stuck with a gasket with slots in it?

I would say no. I watched the professional glass guy fight for an hour and a half installing mine off the truck when he did the windshield, said no way he could do it on the truck.

No. We found that out at a Ford dealership, when the bodyshop tried to install the molding after the windshield was in. Molding blew off and the dealer had to buy new molding.

No way, absolutely not!
The stainless steel windshield reveal mouldings have to be installed on the weatherstrip FIRST, then the weatherstrip is installed on the glass.

I'm getting the sense here, the answer is "No".
