What's the best way to remove the windshield trim without bending or breaking any part of it.

Thanks Guys!!!

Easy, do 130mph down the back straight of Sebring

Here I am coming in the Pits with about 70% of the trim gone

Oh Wait, you don't want it bent. Sorry I can't help you. The Corner Workers brought me back some of the most mangled up Aluminum I have ever seen. I will never use the trim again. I intend to use the rubber trim that is somewhat like the 911's

Mine came off in similar fashion. I only had to do 70 on the freeway. Worked just as well as your idea but not nearly as fun to tell the story. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
