Trim removal tools - 11/07/13 03:40 AM

I'm going to change out the windshield in my Challenger.

What are you guys using to remove the stainless trim?

Are there trim removal tools specifically for E and B body trim?

I think the common tool for that looks like a thin arrowhead. With my experience with doing it on a 65 dart I would suggest finding someone who has done it before. It's easy to damage & hard to come by

It's a "slim jim" lockout tool, modified a little.

A person could get the tool & experiment on a junk car in the JY to get the hang of it

Get some help from someone that can or has done it before. You can ruin a piece of trim in a heart beat.

Trim Removal/Installation: It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma accessed by a riddle.

Count me in if anyone finds this book.
