Top windshield trim
Hi guys. A bit of a daft question really but Im trying to remove the trim that runs along the top of the windshield on my 2001 wagon. I realise that its probably just a push fit into some kind of clips but mine seems reluctant to shift and Im worried that I will either damage it or even crack the screen if I keep levering at it with screw drivers!
Anyone removed one? Any tips on an effective tool/method?

Not to much to made bro 
maybe you bend the trim trying to remove it (you can fix it when remove), but you need to push hard by the sides to the center of the windshield gradually.. i have the same issue to repace my windshield.. my problem is that a previous windshield replacement put some "Polyurethane silione" in the trim clips too, you know the rest.. trim glued with the windshield, bended trim trying to remove & replace it... not good.. but maybe with some luck you can remove yours without a bend..
