It smooths out the lip that would exist from the top of the glass to the roofline, plus it keeps wind from blowing across and through the sunroof drain holes that exit underneath. You can't say that it's just cosmetic.
    Or you could say it's a seal to protect the seals that are actually sealing something...if you get what I mean.

    I had mine replaced about a year ago. The molding was about $60 and the glass shop charged like $85. Took them about an hour to replace.
