Thanks Howard

I'll look at the 55 manual to get an idea where all the clips are located and how to access them. Have been told that some for the rear stainless trim are behind the upholstery, so may have to remove that in the process. The car had a new windshield not long ago. Don't know whether the rubber was replaced but appears to be in reasonable shape and still fairly soft. Don't know about the rear. I'm trying to avoid removing the glass and rubber for the paint job. Not sure if that's feasible.

I've ordered a set of the plastic trim removal tools which will hopefully let me ease things off gently without causing further damage.

If it all goes pear-shaped I do have a fairly good selection of spare stainless trim, badges etc (but not for the windows).

Cheers

Brian
