installing windshield/back glass trim

[HAREST@allenbrook.iix.com]

Hello all,
  A minor pet peeve is going to get me into trouble.  A recently acquired
4kq has chrome plastic trim surrounding/securing the windshield and back
glass.  Sorry, but this just screams butt ugly and has to go.  I have a
replacement set of black plastic trim, but the trick is how to install the
new trim.

  Anyone out there have any trick solutions to installing the windshield
trim into the windshield gasket?

  For those who have never examined this type of trim piece, picture a "T".
The top of the "T" is domed, and is the visible portion of the trim.  The
trunk of the "T" is inserted into a groove in the windshield gasket, and the
end resembles an arrow head or a barb, which keeps the trim in place once
inserted.  Each piece of trim is curved to fit one of the four windshield
corners, which means that even if you start one end of the trim and slide it
down and into the windshield gasket, you have problems when you reach the
curved portion or the other straight section.
  Oh well.  Trying not to pull my hair out, but the chrome has got to go!
Help.

TIA,
-Stott
