The rear glass trim will be pretty hard if not impossible to remove without hurting it. At least when I did it, the upper trim was pretty well glued to the boot frame together with the glass.

If I were to do it again, I would take my time, cut the sides using a wire type windshield removal tool to cut the glue and then with the top and bottom part I would try using a blade type tool.

ive done it with wire .... and it hurts the trim ? any part numbers for the longer lower part of it ? i,ve got the upper in new .

At least what I recall from removing the rear glass, it's hard not to hurt the trim

The upper section pn is 8A9845521B.

Left 8A9845521A

Right 8A9845522A

Tradition seems to have the upper section in stock. The left and right side trim will be a challenge to find.
