Just wondering how to remove the external trim around the windshield and hatch glass. I think it is held on with plastic clips and I would also guess I am going to be hard pressed to get it off with out breaking the clips. Also would like to remove roof rail trim right over each door and the trim outside the windows on the doors. Thanks.
How to remove trim?

To pop the trim from the front and rear windows you'll need a tool like this...
To take the drip moulding off, open the door and look down towards where the mirror is. About an inch up from the end of the rail, there is a little bracket with a screw. Take that out and carefully pull the rail off as it's held on with a type of glue/sealant. Finally, to remove the trim around the windows, roll them down, pull the channel weatherstriping off and carefully work the trim off...it is held on by pressure, be careful as in the corner of the small trim around the window the vertical piece has a little nub that slides into the horizontal piece so you have to work them off slowly together to avoid wrecking them.
