NOTE—In an early description of Windshield Glass replacement

NOTE—In "many shops the workmen remove the
Garnish Moldings from the Windshield and Rear
Quarter Windows in order to remove the tacks in
the Foundation Board rather than simply loosen the
Trim Assemblies above the Moldings. This requires
more time but a beginner can be sure of a neater
appearing Trim job when finished if the moldings
are removed. Remove three Windshield Garnish
Molding screws at upper outside corners and release
lower front corner of Headlining over Front Door
