Re: Rear window exterior Stainless moulding - 1954 Pacific

Been awhile but as I recall, the lower molding is held on by clips with studs that go thru the gasket and bolts on inside. To confirm, remove the package shelf and if there are nuts every foot or so just at the metal, that is it. Upper I believe is similar but not as many bolts.

Also, if the gasket has hardened it will be almost impossible to remove it and glass without damage so be prepared to get new rubber if doing so. Fresh ones are still a PIA to get back on. Require a tool to insert the rubber locking strip and a second body is sure helpful. There is a description of procedure in the body section of service manual.
