Btw, both exterior mirrors are already gone.
If you're going to 'work' around the defective trim,DAP makes a 35-year acrylic-latex 'ALEX' caulk,in black color.About $1.39/tube.When dry it has a luster similar to rubber/Euro-black trim paint.
On my Dodge pickup,I taped off areas of the cowl and A-Pillars with 3M blue tape,then caulked the windshields rubber trim 'trouble' areas,smoothing,sculpting, and blending the caulk with a wet finger.
After drying I pulled the tape,leaving a nice clean line all around.
If you're not looking for 'it',you'll never notice it.
