How hard is it to remove the trim piece at the top of the windshield?

I have the side pillar moldings off and the trim off, just have to remove the top portion.

Have a big gap on one side and want to correct it.

There is a special tool that looks like a big 'arrow' but very broad at the end with it being angled up to about 30 degrees before the handle. Lisle sells them.

The purpose of the 'arrow' end is the actual left or right end of the arrow tip which allows you to insert under the reveal moulding and activate a small retaining clip that secures this moulding.

This part gets a bit tricky and requires an understanding in what you which to accomplish. Study how the clip holds the moulding secure and then see how the tool can interact with the 'release' of the moulding.

The process is as follows by inserting under the moulding, then at a slight slide towards the clip start by rocking that 'arrow' end as a fulcrum to 'release' the grip on the moulding and a very slight twist to lift the moulding off of the clip. Be very carefull as you can chip the glass.

Once removed you can determine why you have a large gap and rectify it.

Study the set up and you will understand your quest.

Hi mv75,
Here's a picture showing 3 of the clips kv posts about. The one near the a-pillar is easiest to see.
The long thin piece of trim has flat 'tabs' that slip into the clips.

Below is what the tool looks like and how you use it. You just slip it behind the clip and rock it open.

You can pick one up at your local parts house.

Thanks Alan, the picture says it all, i believe i have one of those tools somewhere.

I will try to take some pics of the removal and reinstall.

Thank you Willcox corvette, your door weatherstrip and side window rubber arrived last week and looks and fits great.
