We recently installed the chrome trim on the windshield of our Stag in 
about 30 minutes after the windscreen was installed. The process is to 
place a fairly sturdy cord (such as clothesline or drapery cord) beneath 
the rubber flap. Use lots of soapy water on the rubber. Dangle the ends 
of the cord away from the windscreen so that when you lay the trim down 
it goes over the top of the cord. While pressing on the outer edge of the 
trim, pull down on the cord. The pulls the rubber flap back so that as 
the cord moves the flap goes into the slot on the trim. It took four 
people to do this. The extra hands were for holding the trim in place as 
the person pulling the cord would go one direction for awhile and then 
the other direction.

Not at all an easy chore. But it can be done.
