Quarter window mouldings are held in place by 4 or five flush screws which hold it to inner body panel. Surround mouldings are held in place by phillips screws which pickup clips inside mouldings. They are accessed from beneath. You can get at them with the top stowed but will need an angle phillips as there is not a lot of room. The pot metal pieces have a sheet metal screw on each end.

As stated above, also a stubby Phillips works well. Ron
