Ok, how about they windshield trim? My windshield is shattered, and I want to remove all the bits and clean her up!

I use the same method for the windshield trim that I do for the door trim. It is much harder to remove the windshield trim without damage IMO but, as Dean correctly said, it can be done with patience. It can easily take an hour just to remove the windshield trim if you are trying to save the sections.

Dean, I always glue that door trim section back on.

I find the widnshield trim to be super easy to remove. Just lift it straight away off the friction clips.

Just out of curiosity, how many cars have you removed the windshield trim from? Maybe, the car(s) you pulled them from had had them removed recently. When I've pulled them from 20+ year old 928s with original paint & windshields, it was quite tricky to get them off without doing damage to the painted surfaces, glass, or trim itself.

Thanks for all. Door window moldings were pretty easy to remove by mentioned hints. I used slide hammer to remove upper and lover moldings. It was pretty easy job, but patient required.

My windshield moldings was glued, so only method I found for them was to use Dremel with rotary cutting blade. Just cut molding from up to down about 1/3 of molding width from internal edge. Do not cut through molding otherwise you shall harm steel plate inside molding. About 0,5 mm deep groove is enough. After that bend existing slide like opening sardine tin.
I hope someone got a point.

Question..So when you guys put everything back on, did you put mouldings on first then rubber?, or mouldings with rubber allready on..?

I've recently obtained a newly painted 928 with all the seals / trim still removed. I wasn't there for the removal of any of the trim or the window seals so I'm kind of at a loss on the replacement procedures. In addition, the body shop didn't do us any favors when dis-assembling the car... tore a lot of stuff up in the process

I don't see the "link" for any post above. Is there a post / thread showing the steps to reinstall the trim & seals and which order to do them? I would think the rubber seals should go on first, but I've been wrong before... Beyond my realm of expertise when it comes to window trim installation.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! It's helpful because it tells how to REMOVE the trim... But how do you INSTALL the trim? Yes, I'm slow... I've got the window and rubber seals figured out... It's installing the trim that worries me because it's pretty damn easy to bend.
