71 Duster: how do you remove metal and vinyl trim under pop-out windows?

If I remember right from doing my 72, you have to pop the rear side panels off to gain access to the screw heads on the chrome transition strip,alone with the visible screws in the sail panel itself,then pop the rear windows open to the sail panel can clear where the hinge is and the panel should pop right off.

I got my headliner from yearone, its not a perfect fit but its not TOO shabby.

the fit around the rear windshield gasket is a little to tight and buldges the gasket a bit and the same problem on the sides where the metal trim between the sail panel and pillar trim is it also fits tight....I need to peel the material of the headliner back some and trim some of the abs headliner and spray some tack glue and wrap the material back over for a more comfortable fit.

a tip for lining things up (depending on what brand of headliner you went with) but if yours was line mine it did not come with holes for the coat hanger hooks ( I decided not to reinstall mine anyhow) but it didnt come with pre cut holes for the rear view mirror also.

so what I did was I put the mounting screws for the rear view mirror in the holes and I dabed red paint on the screw heads......with the headliner in place and the red paint still wet I pressed the headliner up against the screw heads and the end result was 3 red dots on the backside of my headliner.

then I took a soldering iron and with one hand I pulled down on the front of the headliner for a little more access at the red dots I left and with the other hand I took the tip of the soldering iron and melted a hole in each red dot.

made lining up the rear view mirror a snap.

hope that helps a little?
