Anyone know, or have, the specific FSM procedure and parts list to properly replace the windshield for my 2015? I've heard that the trim pieces have to be replaced whenever the windshield is replaced. What else is recommended or required to be replaced? Insurance is giving me s*** about not wanting to order the trim pieces unless the existing ones can't be re-used. Which if we wait until they break them, I'll be without the vehicle until the parts can be ordered from the dealer. Thank you.
 
I'd recommend taking it to a windshield specialist shop. They've done it countless times and know the tricks. You've never done it and will make mistakes as you're learning. There are techniques to windshield install that aren't detailed in the FSM. Heck, even guys with 60s take their cruiser to a shop for a windshield replacement.
That's my advice anyway.
 
This information is for the windshield shop. I'm not too sure if they've ever done one.

Not sure if you have a dealer close, but dealers typically farm out their glass replacement jobs. I'd call your closest dealer and ask who they use.
