Unhappy Audiovox XM Direct 2 Kit Installation

I purchased an XM Direct 2 kit for my Kenwood KDC-X491 CD receiver in my 79 Corona. I have the Kenwood smart digital adapter installed, and am working on the XM Mini-tuner passport mobile dock installation. My biggest hurdle is the antenna installation, specifically running the antenna wire from the outside to the inside. My window molding is chrome and very tightly installed around the front and rear glass. I'm not sure how to get the wire under the molding without pulling the trim loose; and I'm not sure what problems may arise from loosening the trim. With a car this old, I need to be careful what I remove because obtaining trim clips or other hardware can be difficult. I wonder if a flexible chrome tape on top of the molding would work. I'd appreciate any good ideas or thoughts to resolve this. Thanks.

:ahhhh:
