I am a copy-cat too, and I know @Clark Kent was not the first, and I apologize to the first poster of this solution, but I did the same today.I installed the edge protection strip today. To be honest it feels a bit me-too but given how many owners have reported cracks that propagate inwards from a chip near the unprotected edge I'll give this protection strip a crack.
Easy to install. I used less than 3 metres of the 7.9 metres (26ft) in the kit.
My MY23 has the top seal so I only needed to do the sides and bottom edge.
Preparation is important. I used a razor blade scraper to clean the glass. That lifted a surprising amount of gunk off. Then I used Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to wipe down.
I used a heat gun to soften the molding at the bottom corners. No need for relief cuts.
I had some tape strips ready but didn't use them.
I started at the top left corner and finished at the opposite corner. I used a plastic trim tool to go past the RAI where there is less access to press your fingers onto the molding.
A 30 minute job including preparation.
