Removing lower window trim on rear window of '84 wagon. 200 1984

Hi all,
I am thinking of removing the clunky looking trim under the windows on the wife's 245, the doors are easy just pry off with a screwdriver and replace with the newer style. The rear windows however seems to be a bit harder. I did my usual go to the PNP and test on a junker, but the trim seems to run under the weatherstripping that holds the window in and I ended up trashing it. Has anyone removed these without damage? Am I missing something easy. I hate to just trash the ones in the PNP till I find out the trick.
Thanks

    Because I will at some point need to fix the rust that is common around the rear windows, I have looked into this on a wagon at the PickandPull.

    Once the windows are removed the trim is more accessable and will be seen to be pop-rivetted to the body. Removal would be to drill out the rivets. If you are "upgrading" to the later look that didn't use these trim pieces, I guess some body work would be required to fill any holes etc.

    Good luck and let us know how it goes.

      If it's that much work I'll stick with the old style, I have too many projects going now as it is with the new turbo wagon and stuff.
      Thanks

    Darn, I meant to put rear side window trim in the header, just goes to show proofreading is always a good idea.
