Any tips on how to remove the mouldings? Are they glued on or are there clips?
Thanks!

Clips. Usually easiest to start at the back and move fwd. Save the clips. When you order new rails they do not come with clips.

I have always found it easier to start by the windsheild and work back.

Any specific tools I need to pry the old one off? Where do I get the new moldings?

No tools needed they just pull off. Sometimes the Metal clips will have to be pryed off.

I think only the Dealer sells them.

I just wanted to say thanks for the detailed info...I'm planning on repainting my roof moldings as well.

Yes just pull towards you to get it to release.

You might have to buy some new clips for installation.

I found replacement drip molding/trim tape at http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/ind...995&catalogid=2

from what I hear this is a bit cheaper that buying from the dealer. Thanks.
