There is probably a better one out there but you can pick this up at pretty much any parts store

I don't know that there is a perfect tool for it.
The one pictured, I've tried and think a little grinding would help it.
I've fabricated my own "hooks" with putty knives that work good but have a short lifespan.
Now, I have not done a lot of B bodies.
But my experience with a 67 Charger tells me that while Chrysler made provisions for the stainless to come off for a windshield change, they never planned for the back glass to be taken out.
In other words the front clips have a curve formed into them that you can get a tool on.
(Almost anyway).
However the back glass clips not only do not have the curve, I think there is very little if any room in the body between the rubber and body to work with.
May the force be with you.
 
Here's the one that was recommended to me for my 67 belvedere . . . and it worked great . . .

thanks guys, conv67bdere do you know where i can buy one ? onlyone you have officialy scared me...lol
 
The old fashion church key(aka bottle opener) is the best tool.jut use a rag between the moulding and the tool.
 
hey pushrod that works well for the other moldings, i dont know what they are called and thats exactly what i use but i want to remove the moldings from around the windshield
 
Hey Rich,
My bad. Patience is your friend when doing the windshield mouldings, regardless of the tool.
 
They all suck if someone has filled the gap with silicone and basically glued the damn things in place.
 
i just had a pro come out and remove my rear and front windows so i could finish some body work.was well worth the $60 i paid him.
