Looking for some tips on removing the roof and window trim on my 65 dart. Having trouble getting it off the drip rails. Trying to get it ready for bodywork. Any help is appreciated.

Do you mean to tap it underneath on the window side pushing it outwards? These pieces are a real pain. Theres still small pieces of the vinyl roof stuck under this trim so it definitely needs to come off.Try using a small block of wood and a hammer, preferably a hard wood like Oak.
