On #2, the upper trim strip above the windshield has to be removed. Under it are tabs from the stainless top that go into clips on (as I recall) the body. The clips were very difficult for me to release. CAUTION: In the process of replacing mine, I cracked my windshield slightly and the crack grew to the point where I needed to replace the windshield. The SMALLEST SLIP of a screwdriver on the edge of the windshield while releasing the clips is all it takes. If I have to do it again, I will do anything possible to avoid the use of a screwdriver in this area. Maybe folding the stainless part upwards?
