Remove headliner>two allen head bolts per mounting point>bag and tag bolts,gaskets. You will need a new headliner ($300). You'll see why when you try removing the old one intact.
2.chrome strip along gutterMasked mine.
GENTLY pop off with a pry tool. you'll see the red retaining thingies on each molding mounting post. Pry as close to them as you can. Don't reuse the red retainers. Be very careful not to bend molding. Window bottom ledge molding is pried UPWARD, not outward.

Get all the rust. If you have a sunroof, drop the pan when the headliner is out and you will find rust you never knew was there.
