Getting ready for paint...

But the Chrome trim ring around the outside windshield is smarter than me...

How do I get it off without destroying it...

2-OH!

Here's a pic of the tool I made from a piece of Chrome-moly sheet. It is possible to "unlatch" the plastic clips with this tool so they don't break when lifting the trim. This is important if you aren't replacing the windshield, just the trim.
By sliding the tool sideways after inserting it under the trim, I can catch the clip and pull it away from the lip of the trim, thereby releasing it easily without risk of breaking the delicate old plastic.
