    Hello Maverick community

    Today I am attempting to replace my side rear windows. However my replacement windows do not have the chrome trimming on them like the old ones do. How can I remove trimming from the old glass onto the new?

    Thank you!

    You can use an old fashion can/bottle opener and get under the edge of the trim and carefully lift the edge and keep working your way around it or you can use a couple of really small screwdrivers and work it loose, be careful and dont pry it away too much or it will get a bend and crease in it. I have done it several times you can remove the drip rail trim the same way.

    Top long piece first, if you screw up I have some extras laying around
