Can someone give me ideas on how to get this stuff off? Im trying to find a leak in the bedroom and i think the headliner is going to have to come out. im starting to suspect the rear AC. But i cant get the window trim off. Im not sure if its just on there really good, or if someone has glued it in the past.

secondly, if its glued. what ideas do yall have for new window trim.

The 73 and 74 models which I have the corners unscrew to remove and then you
need to slide the straight plastic off the aluminium extrusion. May need to
gently tap the end with a piece of wood as a drift protection, hit the
plastic nice and square so that you don't damage it. Need to make sure you
don't have anything obstructing it coming all the way off, can go either
way.
Hope that helps.

Mine is like Peter's in that it has to slide, left or right/up or down, after the screws are off. Not sure about the later models.

see thats why you should always ask befor you tear something up. i was trying to snap it off, but since it gave me some resistance i thought i may not be doing it right.
