<VV> removing stainless rain-gutter trim? winshield trim?

I've got to go along with Guy on the rain gutter trim.  Just mask it.  My 
personal experience on that is only about a 50% success ratio on removal 
without damage.  Now I don't have any Vairs with rain gutter trim (or that 
should have it either).

Hi Ray,

The windshield chrome can be pulled out as it's just clipped in but be
real careful with that old glass as it takes very little to crack it.
If you don't have to remove the drip rail DON'T as it never looks
straight.  If you have rust you have to but if not mask carefully and
leave it on.

Regards,

Ok,

     I'm removing all the emblems/trim etc. from the Corsa to start
getting it ready for the body shop.  How do I remove the stainless trim
along the raingutters without damaging it?  I took it off my Chevelle
once, but it was a long time ago and I don't remember.

     Also advice on removing windshield/back window stainless trim would
be appreciated.

     The "corsa" emblems on the quarter panels (the ones ahead of the
wheel) i'm guessing I can get to by removing the interior trim panels
from behind the doors... if there is a different way please let me know.
