The bottle opener wrapped in electrical tape trick is, as the video guy noted, often a way to tear the stainless.

You may want to use a modified wooden paint stick instead of the metal scraper he used and also spray some lubricating oil to help reduce the tension holding the trim pieces on.

P.S. I don't know about 65 windshield trim. Does the Factory Service Manual talk have anything on that?

Also, I know a guy with a '65 Dodge. I'll ask him if he has any tips.
