Yes,Ive done it.Would rather have root canals done in ALL my teeth before I do it again.The trim needs to be removed with lacquer thinner.With a small squirt bottle get some lacquer thinner between the 2 pieces,trim and retainer and gently pull then apart.The dash pad needs to come out of the car,87 might be the same as 84.Theres screws along the top bottom edge in the middle under the radio bezel.There 2 screws at the defroster bezel and a few more I cant remember.The dash pad slides out but the steering wheel is in the way so its going to need to be lowered,Ive been told the dropping the wheel isnt necessary but I dont see how the dash will come out with it in place.Onto the windshield removal.This trim when you could buy it was at least $800 for the 3 pieces.The bad thing here about using a used set of trim,the holes in the a pillar were drilled when the trim was installed so anybody using a used set of trim will end up with extra holes.I have one NOS piece of trim,driver side is anybody needs it.Now,when I pulled the windshield out of this 84 I was really surprised to find rust on the windshield frame in a car thats been in Ca its whole life.The frame in these cars were galvanized from what I understand,nick the coating and you get rust issues.

Absolutely right!! Have the pro's set the windshield and re-install the trim youself. My shop are so concerned that the windshield does not leak, they go crazy with the RTV.
Lee, I'll send you my pics this evening when I get home from work. Rich
