Hey all,
Having my '88 repainted in about a month's time and want to make sure that it's done right. To keep costs down a bit, I'm doing some of the trim removal myself.
I want to remove all the trim from the doors--inside and out--including all of the black-painted exterior trim around all the window frames (not including the rain gutters). Is all of this trim simply friction-fit to the window frames? Can it be gently removed with a wedge and mallet or are they glued on somehow? Am I getting myself into more than I bargained for?
Any advice would be mucho-appreaciated. Thanks!
Window Trim Removal--help!

i found that the trim on the roof channel came off no probs but was a nightmare to put back on, i think thats the part your leaving on though
