1995 windshield trim removal?
I've got pretty significant leakage when it rains or I hose off my truck, all along the top of the windshield. What's the best way to remove the chrome trim without damaging it, so I can reseal my windshield?

the best way is to use the proper tool for removing it... or you could go to a glass shop and have them remove it for you.
I managed to get some off while I was at the wreckers with a screwdriver... but I bent 3 sets before I got it off...oops!...lol

I'd practice on my donor truck, but there's a reason it's a parts truck, and that reason is that I... uh... modified the cab a bit... with a hay field.
What, exactly, is the proper tool?

This is starting to sound like some mystical, magical relic of legend, now.
How about a long thin screwdriver wrapped in electrical tape to prevent scratching?
If I knew what this tool looked like, I could make myself something like it, perhaps.

Thanks... that gives me some ideas. Maybe I can use some of my old damaged trim as a guide and make myself a trim remover.

Just don't rush into it too fast. I severely damaged my trim. Popped off fine the first time, but the second time I busted it up bad.
(I had some leaking issues on my cab.)
And now I have no trim and a **** load of windshield sealant. :P I figure i'll take the trim from the parts truck and have the shop replace my windshield when I have some spare cash.
