I would like to remove the yellow-faded-ugliness-that-was-once-chrome trim
from the windows around my Westy.  I did some searching in the archives
(PITA as "gerry" kept timing out) and found that there were many who did
remove the chrome strips without issue.

Others mentioned that the trim serves as a "lock" for the window gasket and
that something should be used to keep the window heald tightly in place if
you choose to remove the trim.  A couple of suggestions were to use drip
irrigation tubes or spark plug wires inserted into the channel.  Is this
necessary?  The auto glass guy that replaced my windshield thought that the
trim did act as a lock.

Thoughts and experiences?  Chris (JordanVW) didn't you do this quite some
time ago?  What was your experience?

Thanks,
Derek
