Removing screen trim without damage

[db]

The first time I removed my trims I broke several clips, before I worked out how to remove them properly. I was lucky not to damage the trim!

This is on my '66 B-body, I don't know what other years/ models would have similar trims.

DO NOT try to force the trims off. The design of the clips means this is impossible without breaking clips and/ or damaging trim.

The good news is, if you make the right tool it's really easy to pop off the trims with no damage.

This is the tool I made.
The pics show how it fits under the trim and you can just see how it slides behind the clip, releasing it. The edges of the tool need to be thin.

On some areas of the screen, the rubber was too tight to slide the tool, I worked a paint scraper in to widen the gap by pushing the rubber further onto the glass.
This worked great, but you may want to think up a more gentle method if your car has paint!
