Window fitting - with or without trim?

From reading, there appears to be two ways to fit windows (with or without a rubber trim). I have read that a lot of can converters choose to fit without trim in order to tuck carpet in between frame and glass for a neater fit. If a trim is used, how is a neat finish achieved, is the carpet tucked under the trim or just cut around the trim itself?
For those without trim, does condensation drip into the gulley between glass and carpet?
 
On mine I’ve done trim for the kitchen window, as I don’t want carpet right behind the hob. For rear passenger side window, I have carpet over the edge. Getting this carpet on was probably one of the more stressful parts of the experience, but it looks good in the end. The glass comes up to the carpet, there isn’t a gully.

Passenger side door I have trim. I was lucky that the trim just missed the plastic cover on the sliding door latch.
