Can anyone confirm that a 12mm eye on the chrome strip tool as per the link below will be suitable for replacing my tired, sun weathered chrome windscreen trim ?

Me and james just fucked around with one these putting my weather strip in my rear screen. You may need to manipulate and bend the tool to fit better.

I used my fingers and a screwdriver to get one in, took a while but the strip went in undamaged. If there is a tool that makes it quicker and easier, I would strongly advised getting it.
