i don't know of anyone who successfully removed the molding from an OEM windshield and installed it on a Chinese windshield.

Someone locally successfully transferred the molding from a cracked windshield onto a replacement used windshield that did not have the molding with it. It also looks as it should. That being said, I have seen a chinese windshield done and the molding swapped over. It sticks out like a sore thumb and whoever did it should be fired for how terrible the molding looks on that particular car.
