92 Daytona: windshield trim removal?
Hi,
Am restoring a '92. There is some surface rust at both upper corners of windshield. I'm guessing the chrome trim vibrated thru the paint.
I can't see anything like screws, clips, or rivets holding the trim in place, but can't get the trim to come off with moderate pressure and am hesitant to pry harder. I read that some trim is held on by the adhesive which holds the windshield on.
Can anybody tell me how to remove the trim?
Thanks!
Randy

the trim can be removed if you have a molding removal tool made for windshield and back glass moldings
as for the t-top moldings and weatherstrips I have those too.
send me a PM on this if interested

And the answer is . . .
Hi again, After doing a little more aggressive prying, I determined that the windshield trim is just a U-channel which clips onto the edge of the windshield. There are no screws or rivets on my '92 trim. The trim that doesn't want to come off is stuck in the windshield adhesive.
