1987 dodge b250 ram van....i am having my windshield replaced i cracked it the other day,i have heard 2 different shops tell me 2 different things

one says there is moulding that has to be replaced, the other says there is just a rubber seal that can reused. so i would like to know which is true? its a matter of $75.00 for the moulding. from just looking at it, i see a rubber seal with a silver insert in it. or was silver its kinda faded now its the original? any suggetions or info would be great
