Default chrome strip on top of windshield: need help

The chrome/rubber weatherstrip that runs along the top of the windshield on my 2005 is weathered looking and dull from age. I went to get it wrapped in black but shop said it was too thin and wouldn't last long without peeling. I would like to replace it. Has anyone had this done or know the lexus part number? Install tips?

Funny you ask, I am just about to order one myself as I lost my windshield last night.

75531 looks like what I need. Thanks lav. If you're having yours replaced with the windshield let me know if just the strip can be installed without removing the glass.

I tried to clean it up and polish but no real luck. I have no problem buying a new strip. Just need to find out how to remove and install.
