Windshield installation. New trim needed?

Do you need a new trim kit when installing a new windshield? I'm afraid of damaging the old one during removal?

I already bought new seals when I had my glass put back in. When the Safelite guy came, he had a new seal. He said they always brought new seals for the front and back.

So ask whoever you have do your glass if they supply new seals. If you're not reinstalling it.

They usually have universal seal kits on their trucks. Sometimes they have to order OEM tho.
