I have ever so slight bubling rust at the bottom corner driver's side window trim. Yes, common area I know, no leaking ever into the inside fuse area, clean and dry.

The trim is the chrome trimed one, and I would like to keep it that way, for the look.

Many years ago the windshield was replaced, and it looks like they never aligned the trim clips correctly, causing the upper passenger side trim to pop out unsecured.

I would like to remove the trim, take care of any rust, and reinstall it correctly. It looks like the clips fit under the windshield, so I am worried I would not be able to re-align it, is this correct? Also how do I pop it off without breaking anything? Does it just snap?

Anyone have any words of wisdom? I want to re-use the trim, and be sure I will get it to snap back, but I am not confident as I have always seen re-installed trims on cars popping off.

Please advise, whether to touch or not... I don;t like the idea of having rust under there.

Thanks!
