Gently pull up on the trim on the windshield side, then you can look under it and see there are 3 clips that hold it, a flat screwdriver pressed against the tang on the clip will allow it to pop free. You just do one at a time and once the first one is free it's much easier to see the others. If no one else comes up with a better description beforehand I'll snap a few pics tomorrow of one off so you can see what you're dealing with and roughly where the clips are located.

OK, these are horrible pictures but hopefully they'll convey what needs done. There are 3 slots running along the rail that the retainers clip into. Hopefully you can tell from this odd angle what needs to happen, I've just placed the trim where it needs to be to reinstall, and to remove it the angled tab at the bottom of the clip is what retains it in the slot, so if you press on it with something like a screwdriver it'll pop out. You'll want to be careful around the glass of course, but the trim piece will stand quite a bit of pressure and flexing as long as it's with your hands or something soft. Hope this helps.

Are you still looking for taillights? No, got them with the grille and headlight doors from a yard in Wisconsin, I just need the trim above the lights and a gas door from a cheaper Monaco (and I'm still in weekly contact with the yard but no front bumper yet).

I almost had a fuel door for you a couple of weeks ago but this one was rotted.
The taillight trim you need is there but this guy WILL NOT move this car. It is blocked in tight on 3 sides and I have been asking the guy who owns the yard for almost 2 years to pull the car out so I could get a fender. With the trees growing out from behind the rear bumper I don't know if anyone would be able to pull the trim where the car sits.

I think I have some taillight upper trim pieces. One of them is cracked but once its on the car it doesn't look too bad.

If someone could do a tracing/rubbing of a DODGE gas door showing the locations of all four corners and the 10 holes for the DODGE letters I can use my gas door then all I need are the letters.

I had a rather good day on Ebay, I got what I believe to be the correct DODGE letters for the gas door and a manual left side door mirror. The remote one on the car is broken, I think the truck driver who delivered the car did it but regardless I needed a mirror so I chose to go manual. I would like to find a cheap (reasonably priced) NOS remote mirror for my '75 Gran Fury police if anyone comes across one.
