Removal of weatherstrip on 123 body

[ncarter]

Okay, my last trim-removal job is also missing from my service manual: removing that rubber & chrome weatherstrip that runs along the right- and left-hand sides of the roof above the windows. My service manual has jobs 68-530 and 68-535, which both pertain to the coupe, but none for the sedan. The instructions for the coupe seem to imply that I'll need to remove the rear quarter windows to get at some screws that hold that weatherstrip chrome in place. If that's the case, I guess they just get masked off... not really the ideal solution, but I've only got a little bit of time left to work on it tomorrow.

Any help? Apparently there are different versions of the same service manuals floating around, because mine definitely don't include section 84 - in fact, none of my manuals have any info on the ventilation & heating systems! There isn't a "Chassis & Body, Volume 3" is there? Ah, well.

After these bits come off I'll snap all my "before" photos and trailer it to the body shop.
