A method of installing windows in vehicles provided with body cavities for receiving windows and flanges therein for supporting such windows consisting of the step of placing an elongated trim provided with a pair of window engaging ribs onto the flange located within the body cavity in which the window is to be sealed so that the window engaging ribs face outwardly away from the body cavity, placing a bead of adhesive material about the periphery of the window, positioning the window within the body cavity, and pressing the window into contact with one of the two ribs while deflecting the other rib thereby forming said other rib into an internal dam for controlling the flow of the adhesive as the window is pressed into place thereby substantially preventing adhesive from flowing outwardly from the body cavity along the interior surface of the window and selaing between the outer peripheral edge of the window and the body cavity.
