Windshield trim

Good idea notching. Stainless steel can be a *****. Not crazy at all. Well the idea anyway. Just don't notch where the clips are located

That is correct no notching where clips go.

When I worked at a auto glass place the owner had to set the trim down and walk away sometimes...lol I would pick it up and work at it until I got frustrated. The customers are of course wanting their trim to fit properly so it takes work to get it all to come together nicely. I've seen it all when comes to trim restoration and fitment. Chevy, Ford, Mopar etc...
