Absolutely great deal, they are on sale now (think I paid $20).

Important note when installing. Make sure you first use common sense and align them first on how they should sit.
First cleaned and dried the channel. I believe they were incorrectly labeled (RH vs LH).
Tucked the lower part behind the wiper cowl and into the channel and aligned the top to curve along the top of the windshield frame.
Then slightly pulled off the tape from the top corner while applying pressure on the trim so that it remains perfectly inline with the windshield side trim..
Repeat on the other side.
Good luck!

(I believe someone in the Amazon ratings posted a photo where they were happy but I noticed that it was incorrectly installed lol)

Thanks! Should the pointy/thinner edge be sitting towards the top or bottom of the windshield?

Roman,
Have you found, or looked into a similar strip for going along the top edge of the windshield?
It is a smaller gap..but I’d like to try it.
It seems a small “T” shaped piece with thin, very flush wings might work, even if I had to shorten the leg portion that actually inserts into the small gap.
Thanks for any help, opinions.

I have not, I honestly didn't think about it as it wasn't something that was advertised... The top isn't that much of a big deal as gravity comes down and whatever gets in there would come down. Whereas the sides would get filled up with random sh*t (including snow) from the wipers. If you find something, pls share.

Top of the windshield. Dry fit it to see how it sits and you will see for yourself.

Show your installation. The bottom tucks under the wiper cowl so it doesn't matter whats there. However, the top is where you want the trim to flow into the top part of the windshield. you might be able to remove and use another strip of double sided tape.

You bet, thanks!
