Got the upper and side windshield stainless installed. Pretty easy actually even with no help. Using a piece of 18ga wire, a cotter pin tool, and some undiluted dish soap I was able to feel the wire into the channel for the trim.

Once the wire was in, I used metal rod to center locate the top trim in the mounting hole. This also helped hold the stainless so didnt need a helper. With the wire in the channel it opens in up enough that the stainless can easily be pushed up and into channel as the wire is pulled out.

The process was repeated with the side trim. 20mins total and I had all three pieces installed. Also installed the corner trim and have the bottom trim ready to go.

Still need to install the lock strips and then its onto the back window. I did prep the back window and installed the seal and put the wire in the channel.
