Yes, only because I already have a windshield protection film installed. The 3M tape on the molding won’t adhere to the film even if I try and help it along with a little bit of heat. It’ll stick for a few minutes around the bottom curved corners of the windshield then it just pops up again. I’m using the same TintVent brand you mentioned above.
The protection film is a pre-cut template I installed so there is a narrow gap where the glass is still exposed a little at the bottom edge of the windshield. The only thing I can think to do is remove the protection film in a thin band around the rest of the windshield the width of the molding so it can stick directly to the exposed glass. Not thrilled about the idea of trying to trim it with a sharp blade and not scratch the glass or tear up the edge of the film.
