Or ditch the silver trim and go to a black rubber surround. I think it leads to a much nicer looking car.

I am considering this option also. When I called the glass shop to schedule the install I told them to make sure they had rubber molding on the truck in case I wanted to go that route. What happens to the clips for the aluminum molding if you use the rubber trim? Do they stay in place or get removed?
You remove the clips. The rubber goes on to the windshield before the windshield is installed, and it becomes more or less self centering. I was able to install mine single handed. Though I can't recommend that, my install would have gone cleaner with a second set of hands.
Your installers will thank you for going rubber. The aluminum trim can break the windshield when installed if they did not get it centered just right, or if the windshield was made a little wonky (which several of them seem to be, I had to trim my PPG glass to get it to fit right and many others here have too.)
