windshield trim removal

How do you take of the windshield trip and how do you take off the top piece of the rear window trip?

You can use a screwdriver and/or a special tool. I usually tape a flat screw driver with masking tape and just use it.

Do they reproduce all of he molding for the front and back window, or is that something I should be careful with and have it re chromed?

You need to be careful and using the second tool to release the clip keeps from bending it (sometimes). It is stainless steel and you can have it polished on a high speed buffer (not chrome).

Be careful as the originals fit best. I hade mine professionally polished and a couple if dings taken out they turned out perfect and are a highlight of the car.

Hi! I remember removing my windshield trim moulding. The retainer clips were badly rusted and deteriorated and luckily my moulding came off without much hassle without a tool. I took this photo showing where the retainer clips are as they are difficult to "feel" with the tool. The green tape represents where the clips are. I'd hate to have to remove these again.

That's an awesome pic. Thank you guys for the help. Should come in handy when I tackle that to get the body work going.
