Windshield molding removal

[Bob I.]

Need advice in the removal of the windshield molding and roof center molding. Thanks

The front narrow piece is in U clips and just lifts off like most trim. The large T piece can be a problem after all screws are removed if lots of sealer was used it is easy to damage it beyond repair but some come off easy.

Hi Bob,
There are 2 small pop-rivets in the rear of the center piece of trim, 1 on each side. They fasten through the chrome 'halo' trim.
The long thin strip that Lyle mentioned needs to come off first. It can be tricky because each end of it slides UNDER the SIDE windshield trim.
Regards,
Alan

I would recommend removing the two side reveal moldings before popping off the lower center piece. Also, glass shops use a special tool to take this off so as not to bend the piece. I can email you a photo of it being done if you wish (can't seem to be able to post a photo on this forum)
