Removing Vinyl Top Trim from an 85 Cutlass

[bigmau]

I did a search but most folks just want to remove the vinyl top all together. I had a missing piece and bought a replacement. I wanted to pull all the trim, repaint and re-install. What is the order of operations? It seems really brittle and I don't want to break any more of the pieces and be back where I started. Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks.

if it breaks, u can get another very cheap. i took mine off and it didnt break it was bendy, though i didnt use my hulk strength but it still was kinda flexible.

but i started with the top trim then worked my way around

I moved the slider on the top over but there's no screws under there. How does the top trim come off?
