Default How to remove the gray trim around the windshield

Hi Everyone,
I recently bought my 04 crossfire and it has some exterior issues. I need to remove the gray trims that are around the windshield to re-paint them as well as the door handle. If anyone have some information on how to remove this parts please let me know. Also if anyone have this parts for sale I will buy them. Thanks

start with the bottom of the side pieces, pull up and they unsnap, and work your way up. the top piece will be the last to remove.

I know that this is an old post, but thank you Jimmy for this information. Just purchased a 2004 and the factory manual does not help one bit on how to remove the trim.

Also, if anyone has any suggestions for reattaching the metal clips to the plastic trim. I would assume epoxy but I have heard some stories about the heat the reaction creates can discolor the paint. The silver paint on my trims looks great so I would rather not have to repaint it. Proven bonding methods would be much appreciated.

UPDATE: Disregard that last portion. Found what I was looking for by searching the forum for "attaching clips to windshield trim". It was the third or fourth search result and had great advice about VHB 2-sided tape and JB Weld epoxy. Thanks to everyone for that info.
