Once you have drilled out the pop rivits on the drip rail trim, you might need to use a flat screw driver or better yet a putty knife to GENTLY pry the trim loose from the car. There is a adhesive that was used along with the pop rivits.
The windshield trim has a "J" shape type bend that holds it into the rubber gasket. The only way to get the trim out of the gasket with out bending it, is to remove the windshield. same with installing the trim. Windshield removal can be tricky. You might be surprised what a little heat on lubricant can do to make that gasket useable again. I have had several out and with a little cleaning and lube, have been able to reuse them with no problem.
I have removed a couple of windshields from panteras by myself but would strongly suggest having 2 people, and don't rush it, take your time.
Best of luck, take photos and let us know how it turned out.
