trim removal help needed please
I have been trying to remove the trim the t tops lay on and cant move the chrome(?) end pieces. I found a screw under the weatherstrip and theres 2 from the inside but it only lifts up about 1/16 of an inch. Feels like maybe another screw is under there. Any advice?
Now I have not removed the windshield trim yet, but that doesnt seem to be holding it in. How hard would the windshield trim be to remove?
Finally I think the center piece is stainless(?) and seems to have 2 rivets in back and screws on top and sides, is there any secret hidden screws there?
It appears that a previous owner had put some type of clear sealer around all the trim so that might be helping it to stick together but I really need it off so any help would be appreciated. :confused:

been a while since mine were removed but I believe that there is a screw that goes into that part from under the windshield trim, maybe even 2 of them.

Thanks guys, OK just looked at the assembly manual again (must have missed it the first time).
There appears to be a screw going in from the windshield trim side, so now I just have to figure out how to remove the trim without breaking anything.

I'm afraid the two screw under the front windshield trim are also under the windshield glass itself. I am not sure you can access these screws without removing the w/s. Sorry.
