Default replacing windshield trim?

Having a new windshield put in and Im told I need to get a trim and rivet kit? Anyone know the best place to get this (and what it actually consists of) ?

You should only need 6 plastic rivets for the A pillar trim pieces. The p/n is 79086L

I have no idea if he's the cheapest, but it appears they have them in stock.

How hard is it to replace the trim pieces? I'm afraid I'd snap something in trying to put the new one on.

And, I'm guessing if I need the trim, I'm going to have to get new rivets also? I see the trim actually comes with the metal clips.

The last time I looked, he was much cheaper than AB... they were asking $120 for the trim piece.

EDIT: Just looked again and AB has them for $99. And, they have a "how to" video on the parts page.
