Thought I'd share this, in case anyone has screen trim to fit.
My screen had been fitted with a new rubber by a screen fitter who had experience of Stags, he had even fitted another Stag screen that morning and on that one he had managed to fit the screen trim, whilst on mine he couldn't.
I took some photos to try and help show how to do it, and I'll see if I can do a YouTube video if I get the time.
Make sure your not wearing a belt or jeans with studs etc, to avoid catching paintwork.
I then checked the trim to make sure it sat in line with the windscreen rubber, mine was warped slightly and sat an inch or 2 high at one end, so I gently eased it so it sat almost correctly.
I inserted some 5 or 6mm rope, using the rounded edge of a small ring spanner to push the rope fully into the groove in the rubber, so it lifted the lip by about 7mm and inserted this around the window past the final point where the trim sits, then I started in the bottom corner and pushed the raised rubber flap into the underside of the chrome trim, I then continued round till I reached the end of the trim. (I found I had to push the rope in a bit more with the ring spanner as I proceeded). I did this by myself, but an extra pair of hands would be useful to apply pressure on the trim as you are working your way round. When you are certain that the rubber flange is in all the way round, push the trim down and at the same time gently pull the rope out, after rope is removed from this section apply further pressure to seat the other edge of the chrome trim over the rounded rubber edge next to paintwork. If as you are doing this you realise that the rubber flange isn't seated into the underside of the chrome trim at any point round the frame, don't mess around just remove the whole trim and push the rope back in and start again, as it only takes a minute.
I just used a bit of spit for lubricant on the rubber, but if you use any other lubricant make sure it's rubber safe.

(And no they aren't scratch marks on my windscreen, it's a reflection from cables above!
