2g: Window trim removal

[perley03]

I'm about ready to prime/paint my 95, and starting masking off the windows, but going around the trim is a pain. Is there any way I can remove the trim on the outside, or is it integrated with the window seal itself? Any tips/tricks?

Searching would be one idea.

Thanks Defiant, but I guess I should have been a little more specific. I know about the door trim and removal, but I was wondering about the actual windows themself, like the two side windows, the rear hatch, and the windshield,if that "trim" is removable, or if its the actual seal.

Ah. We had something about that, but I'm not finding it. And I don't recall the answer. I know to remove the glass you have to do the fishline saw trick, but I don't know if this destroys the trim.

just to add, the rear quarter windows that i call them, the trim is the window, so thats a no go, i know this because i had to have one of them replaced. the outer windshield trim (MB881971) is $35 and the rear one is $16 ( i had the part number) but both will need to be installed by a glass tech, as im sure you dont want water in side. I know masking things off is a pain and takes time, i know i just primered my car. im going to wait till i have it painted to replace the trim on the hatch and windshield.

Good luck.
