windshield moulding SNAFU

By rustyrex
- Fri Oct 26, 2012 4:02 pm #318685 I have a 95 hatch. I need some help. How do I take off the moulding around the windshield ecspecially the sides? Also where can I buy replacement clips and new mouldings? The previous owner tried taking the passenger side off and broke everything and decided to use clear windshield sealant to keep the rain out. Now I have this crap to grind out ontop of replacing the glass and moulding.

When I got a new windshield, the installer had to do it the way you described... put the sealant on thick and press the trim onto that.
