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

The surround is only referenced in the manual in a writeup about body tolerances.

I also saw the pictures in the other thread, but it doesn't help me determine the best way to actually remove the surrounds. I will,however, be buying a set of trim removal tools I saw on amazon for $16.00. I'm especially interested in the steps taken to remove the A pillar covers.

I'm just hoping that someone who removed the trim will see this and respond by saying, "this is how I did it...". I just want to make sure it's as easy as I think it is and whether there is a preferred way of removing the surrounds.
There are other posts on this subject.
You know the old saying, "If at first you don't succeed, pry, pry, and pry again"
Good luck.
