Windshield trim

How do you remove the outside windshield stainless trim for painting the cowl area? Does it just press in, or does it have some sort of fastener? What is the best fway to re-install it? The bird is a 56 model year.

Smile winshield trim

The outside lower trim rt and lft sides only come out with the windshied. The 2 lower trim peices are held in with the winshield gasket. To remove them you must remove all the inside trim pieces by unscrewing them. Then you should be able to remove the ouside upper trim. Then you can remove the winshield with the gasket and the 2 lower outside trim pieces.
