The mouldings go around the outside of the windshield forming both "A pillar" seals and go to the top of the windshield. This is what forms the air and water tight seal with the upper door glass. It is not what bonds it with the windshield frame area.

And yes, it is possible to transfer used glass onto another svx and has been done many times
