Default Convertible Header Panel Moldings Removal
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to getting the header panel moldings off on a 69 convertible? All the screws are out but they seem to be glued down.

Thanks,

Got them off using a very thin, narrow, and flexible steel scraper. I managed to lift a front edge of the molding near the doors and then ran the scraper towards the middle of the car, cutting the sealant the factory used to seal against leaks. It took a while but with a little coaxing they came off. Now to clean out the sealant, see if the repros fit ok and seal it up again.
