    Al thanks for going out of the way to post the trim removed.
    Do I remove the window trim to remove the top trim.

    Yes...The windshield itself has to be out in my opinion because the windshield trim clips were screwed through the wide stainless trim. They would be next to impossible to get at with the windshield in place.

    For just under 40k you, that's right you, could have your very own dustless blasting business!   :money:
    I Seriously considerd it, because there is no mobile blaster here in omaha

    Well you would only have to do about 200 hours of blasting to make back your investment... :poopoke:

    I know of a guy local here who stopped doing blasting because he was not EPA friendly so it seems.
