I agree that the chrome trim can add to the frustration in getting the gasket to lay flat in the bottom corners. My 1950 3100 came with this original trim...had new windshield and trim installed by a professional auto glass company. ($100) It's puckered in the lower corners. I've bought a new gasket without the trim groove for the chrome molding. I'm going to rope in the windshield and forego the chrome...tired of messing with it.
