Re: 1976 chrome tee top trim
The windshield does not have to come out. I just removed mine and I took off the windshield top and side moldings first. I am not certain that this is required, but I want to check for rust in the windshield frame. Once the screws and the 2 rivets are out the t-top molding can be 'lifted'off. There will probably be much sealant between it and the windshield frame. It will take some patience to pull the t-top molding from the sealant without bending it. I started lifting the t-top molding at the back end and once it was up I gentely used a wide scrapper to lift one front end up from the chromed corner piece. There was a small amount of a glue between these two pieces. The glue had dried out so this joint was not hard to separate. Then I slowly lifted up the front portion of the t-top molding across its length.
I cleaned the old sealant/glue off with lacquer thinner.
