I need a new windshield, and plan to paint my 914, but not now.
Is it possible to remove the aluminum windshield trim without damaging the plastic clips that hold it in place. I want to replace the windshield now, and when I do paint, remove the aluminum trim so paint can be applied up and under the trim. Thanks. |

Just plan on replacing the clips. A 1" putty knife run around the window side of the trim locates the clips. The knob on the clip that the trim pops on gets removed (cutoff with gentle persuasion) with the knife and spares reefing on the trim. I imagine someone has a picture of the general clip locations. The trim goes ON the clips MUCH easier than OFF. Usually some portion of the trim gets ruined trying to get it off the knob. That =s real $ and time.
