Got my trim replaced yesterday, put mine in the camp of "totally not as easy as I would have liked". The original broke into pieces on trying to pull it out, and the top driver corner was way tighter than the rest.

Putting the new one in was not simple, it required hooking the metal C channel down and onto the glass then using a thin trim panel tool to push the rubber flap on the roofline-side of the trim down into the channel. After that it was ok, but it was done about 5mm at a time.

Top corners are not sitting down well and both bulge up a bit. I'm debating throwing a thin bead of Permatex windshield sealant down along the edges of the top section then taping it down until it cures. I'm worried it might damage the paint though, so more debate and research is needed still.
