Default 77 Rear Window Trim

Is there suppose to be a chrome trim around the outside of the rear glass on a coupe? The guy before me replaced the seal but it looks looks like it's missing something to dress it up and hide the seal and caulking.

No trim was used. The rear window was sealed flush with a butyl seal to the framework.

That's what I've go but it sure looks like it could use some sort of dress up trim.

A popular modification is to install a removable rear window from the early C3s. I think it cleans up the install a bit since it uses a rubber surround seal instead of the butyl caulking. It also gives you the ability to remove the rear window for better cabin air flow.
