does anyone know of any tricks in removing the piece of chrome that runs olong the edge of the roof,maybe aspecial tool or something , thank,will.

 

Yeah, the "special tool" looks like this:



Use the flat end, not the pointed end. Start at one end of the trim strip and carefully pry it up with the bottle opener. I wrap the opener in electrical tape first to prevent scratches. It works great.

 

You just know someone would be dumb enough to use the pointy end LOL!!!!!

 

If you can't grab the bottom edge and roll it off with your fingers take about half a paint stirring stick or short length of 1x with a good edge and from the inside of the car hold it lengthwise and just catch the bottom edge of the molding. Tap the edge of the wood gently with a rubber hammer and work the trim loose from one end a couple of inches at a time. After it's loose on the bottom start at one end and gently pull it up and off working slowly down the length.
