My buddy is trying to re-install the windshield and stainless trim in his '53 Pathfinder.  The upper part looks just like the upper part of the '55-'57 chevs I see on youtube - meaning the stainless trim gets installed before the windshield is put into the car.  On the Chevies, it looks like the bottom trim pieces are installed after the windshield is in place, and are held in place with clips and screws.

On the Pontiac, the bottom stainless trim is the same as the upper trim, which makes me think both the top & bottom sections need to be in place before the windshield is roped into the windshield frame.  Is this true? Or does the bottom trim go on after the windshield is installed, like the tri-5 chevs?  If it gets installed after, is there a trick to feeding it in without bending the stainless?

Same question for the corner pieces on the bottom.  Do they get installed before or after the windshield is roped into place?

I searched for a video, but did not find one for the early Pontiacs.  If anyone knows of one, I'd sure appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.
