does anyone know how to take this off.

YOu can see that the idiot body guy that did some work a few years back didn't put it all the way down. Look at the bottom of the molding and you can see its not far enough down



thanks

drivers side

I'm not really sure on verts. on the hard tops the tool looks like this..
. It lays flat on the windshield and insert one of the hooks under the trim, slid it until it hits a clip and release it. it still tricky even with the tool. I would find a local windshield replacement shop and have them do it for you has another option. they should be able to do it for cheap and have the right tools, it's and easy job the only thing is the edge of the windshield is the weakest point and you can even crack it with the pictured tool if it's used wrong..trust me I have seen it done.

JUST PULL HARD, AND TRY NOT TO BEND IT, OR CRACK THE WINDSHEILD. I HAD TO DO MINE ON MY HARD TOP AND THATS WHAT I HAD TO DO. NOT SHURE IF ITS THE SAME ON A VERT THOUGH

Nope I took the trim off my coupe with that tool and completely different on a vert. I'm pretty sure I just read how on another post. It said to pull the a pillars off and the window trim and screws are underneath them.
