windshield trim removal...again, without bending it all up Options

[EJP914]

I posted a topic a few weeks back on how to remove the windshield trim.
A few of the responses said to cut thru the clips that hold the trim and remove it all in one piece.
Sorry I didn't get it first time around, but...

Do you cut thru the clips with a slim putty knife or similar with the knife between the trim and the glass OR between the trim and the frame?
There are places where the trim is very tight against the frame. I would have to force the knife between the trim and the frame. Will the trim "give" a bit to do this?

Is there a diagram somewhere that shows where the clips are located OR will I bump into them as I move the knife around the trim?

If this removal is a simple procedure for most 914 guys, again my apologies for missing the obvious. Thanks again for the help.

Razor blades work great for this. Slip the blade in between the trim and frame searching for one of the clips. Once located, position the blade right on top of a clip. Wrap a smallish chunk of 2x4 with a thin rag(guard against marring surfaces), place it on top of the back of the blade, and tap with just enough force to cut/break the clip's pin.

Note that using a method like this will require removing the glass to replace the clips. If you're not pulling the windshield out you're going to want to not destroy the clips. Very different process for trim removal.
