    OOPS, I searched but when it said drip moldings I stopped, I figured it was exclusively about drip moldings, not body moldings too,

    Use an old style metal beer/pop bottle opener to pry off the roof moldings. The moldings around the windshield and back glass come off easily with a wood paint stir stick sharpened on the end like a chizel. DO NOT USE A SCEW DRIVER. MEATAL AGINST GLASS = CRACKS. Consider yourself lucky if you've pulled this one off before.

    my .02$ worth....I tried the paint stick,bottle opener,screwdriver and hammer...none of these worked for me. I found a pair of snap-on end cutting pliers with the wide jaws and they worked very well,left no marks or dents and it only took 3 areas and they were off. if I could post pics then I would show a picture. good luck
