Can anyone tell me how MoPar windscreen trims come off ?
Specifically, the one that runs along the lower edge.
There is a little tab and screw at the pillar end, and the connecting piece in the centre, but I am reluctant to pry away at it in case there is a 'magic touch'.
Thanks.

Sandy, undo-ing that screw will release the tab either side of the A pillar.
As far as getting the trim off, you need something wide, flat and stiff. Gently ease it in between the trim and the rubber along the top edge and gently coax it away from the screen. The secret is not to apply too much pressure on too localised an area. If you can spread the load evenly along the area you are working on you significantly reduce the risk of damaging the trim. I covered the flat end of a pry bar (for floor boards - wide end) with masking tape and used it, along with putty knives similarly covered.
