63 front and rear exterior window trim removal

[Robert B.]

I was under the impression that there were clips that I needed to condend with,but as I began to under go the removal of the trim I found that there were NO clips on either the front or rear windows just a lot of goop.Is this typical. (Early 63)

Robert,

There are clips, 18 thin clips and 6 thick clips in front and something like 9 on each rear window. These clips slip over the fiberglass and have a hook type extension that locks on the molding. Like I mentioned in another post, be careful with you moldings as they are hard to find and $$$$ to replace if you bend them.

All one year only stuff.

finally got exterior trim off the windows last night. After understanding how the clips worked it was not too difficult with exception of all the goop.I just used a putty knife ( good stiff blade) and something like a piece of 1/2 inch round wood dowel to help for a little leverage, like a pry bar if you will. Thanks To everyone for the help.
