Hello everyone,

I have ordered this tool from 914Rubber, which should be arriving this week.
If it really works, I could leave the windshield in for another couple of years.
The car goes to the painter this fall. To avoid tape-lines, I like the trim removed.

Could anyone provide me with the guidance needed to pull this off?

There is a guy on YouTube, on a different type of car. But he makes it look too easy (and I believe that he broke a clip as well).

I saw a couple videos. It's all pretty much the same idea of using the tool to release the clips. The original clips are over 40 years old, plastic gets brittle, so there is a good chance they will break.

You carefully slide it under the chrome and catch the edge of the clip. You use it as a lever to release the clip. Be careful if you are not removing the windshield to not break the clips. Go slowly you can feel the trim release.
