I have searched and seen the comments on "get the tool and use only it." and "don't flex too far because you can break glass."
My H/O's rear window leaks badly into the trunk. I hope that, as it has been in very little weather since restoration, that it simply is missing sealer and has not yet rusted badly. The plan is to get the tool, coax the trim out, and see the lay of the land for the next step once the trim is removed.

I have seen that, one gets the tool, runs it along the edge till one finds a clip, and you slightly lever the tool away from the glass so that the clip flexes inwards from the trim edge and pops it loose there. Then repeat to all. Am I correct?

 

Yes, that is the process. It can sometimes be a challenge to snag all the clips with the tool. I have two, the V-shaped one and a single sided one that has a sharper point and seems to work better.

 

I am getting ready to remove front windshield on my 72 supreme convertible, is it same tool for front a pillar wide stainless trim?

 

No it's not. You'll need to remove the rubber w/strip and then the bright stainless channel that the w/strips sits inside of.

Once those two are off you'll see some philips head screws that hold the wide stainless molding on. Finally....the wide stainless molding is likely WELL ADHERED to the windshield post/frame with a bunch of factory-applied calk material. Getting the stainless loose from this can be a challenge but it's do-able.

 

thank you sir! Could not find in the body manual!✌️
