Default Re: For those of us who are slow: windshield surround removal

I probably won't sell the original pieces since I want to keep all the original stuff should I want to go back to stock one day.

I had a new windshield professionally fitted last week. Happened to look out of the window just as the guy was prying up the centre piece with a flat prying tool, similar to a screwdriver. He just seemed to be prying upwards from the roof side of the surround. I couldn't watch the rest of the procedure after that, but I'm pleased to say everything was put back in place perfectly with no damage!

Seems to be a fairly simple process but for peice of mind may be worth getting a windshield shop to do it for you, as suggested above!

GL, Andy.
Thanks Andy, that's actually quite helpful. I may see if I can buy a plastic trim tool online somewhere, since I think it might be handy to have for other projects/cars.

Anybody else have additional recommendations/experiences? How about the A-pillar surrounds?
