My next project is to replace the vinyl top. Any help on removing the trim would be a big help. The front W/S trim looks imbedded in the rubber. Do you just pull it out or is there clips? The trim at the side quarter windows. Do I have to remove the in inside panels to get to trim nuts? I have removed a lot of trim in the past. Just not on this model car. The drip rail looks to just lift and pull off. Not sure about the quarter trim from the side window to the back window. And last the 300 emblem just pulls off? Sorry about all the questions. Better to ask and save a lot of time and damage.
 
There are clips on the front and rear windows, you'll need a tool that slides between the glass and the trim.
The belt-line trim at the back uses two different clips (and may be mixed), there are nuts that are accessed from within the trunk.
As you get into the C-pillar the trim just snaps on the studs. I don't recall how I got it off the studs.

This was on a 4-door sedan, others may be different.

Ok to remove the emblems you must remove the rear seat, inside panels and inside sail panel to get to the emblem nuts and the one nut that holds the one c pillar trim nut. There are also two screws that hold the side window trim in the picture in my last post. I STILL CAN NOT GET THE FRONT WINDOW TRIM OFF??
