Default 1980 Windshield moulding

I need to replace, right upper windshield moulding on my 1980 corvette.
http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...dept%5Fid=1457 [I know this is not the right part for my car]
It seems to me that I will need to take all the mouldings and the windshield out in order to replace this upper moulding.

I would appreciate any input on how to go about replacing this upper moulding.

You don't need to take the windshield out but you will have to remove all the molding. There are 2 screws in the back and 2 in the front that holds the corner molding place. It is a pain in the *** for such a small peice.. Be carefull removing your upper front winshield molding it is hardest peice to get off and it will bend really easy and there are no replacement peices that I know of, it is held in place by clips. All the other peices of molding/trim is screwed in place.
Hope this helps.
