There's no really "easy" way to remove the bottom trim. If you have a knife with a very flexible blade like a filleting knife, you can run it between the trim and the glass on all sides until the silicone bead between them is completely cut through. The less laborious way is to simply cut the trim in a small area with side cutters, and just prying it off. You can buy replacement trim for any stock AGA tank directly from them. AGA changed their name, but if you search AGA you'll get to them easily. hth

fwiw, I think you made the right choice.
