So, I know how to remove all the trim from the sail panel and the windshield, but I can't figure out how to remove it for future use. I "practiced" removing it on my project car because the pieces were already trash. I tried my best to not bend anything, but I failed miserably. I would really like to reuse the trim, but I don't see how I can remove it from the good car without bending the crap out of it. Do you guys have any tips or anything? Thanks.

on the sail panels, you would need a tool that looks like a fork with two splines...
you would put that on either side of the pin and wedge it out... On the windshield, you need to do a search here, Chris Foley (Racerchris) had designed a tool specially for removing the trim without wrecking it. It can be done, and it can be bent back, be patient going either way. Rich |

you can bend it somewhat w/o ruining it, itll bend back when you reinstall...but removing it wasnt too hard IIRC, just look at your other car and see how it works..then take your time. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
