Default windshield trim

Does anyone have a detail on how to safely remove the trim around the windshield all 3 pieces.

i had found the threads using the search, but cutting and pasting the link here didn't work. search "windshield+trim" and it'll come up.

Pull don't be scared. Just get the top trim off first and then the two sides. I used a gift card to pry it up a little then just used my fingers and took the top one off.

When I had my new windshield installed I watched them remove the trim.
First the top and then the sides
Prying carefully with a plastic putty knife it snaps off quite easily.

Good luck

Talking Re: windshield trim

As you lift the panels slowly, a flashlight will give you great insite of the design of the clips and how to proceed. Enjoy Woody
