The service manual provides the tool number to remove the old rear back window upper trim but the Ford dealer indicates the tool is no longer offered by Ford. I have the new trim and am anxious to replace the deteriorating trim. Anyone know where to find a tool and the best method to reduce the changes of damaging nearby paint surfaces? Can the upper trim strip be removed without touching the side trim pieces?

 

I had a glass installer replace the trim. It was quick(<10 min), installed perfectly, and there was no charge.
