Removal is easy.
Pop the trunk. 7 screws for the center trim panel accessed under the edge of the raised trunk lid.
Lower the top down. There is one screw on the inside curve on the "hockey stick". Look inside from where the top is and you will see that 1 screw here
Drop the 1/4 window down. Push the inner felt belt down and you'll see two screws there. You can get them out with a phillips by carefully pushing the felt strip down. You don't need to pull the interior quarter panels to access them. However, if they are really tight, you may need to in order to get a better grip on the screwhead with your screwdriver.
The side trim slips into the center trim from each edge. Once unscrewed, you can lift the entire thing up as one part, or just pull the "hockey sticks" out of the rear trim and take them off separately.
Also, Ford put a small bit of clear "tape" on the trim right at the corners of the top. I removed this and wondered what it was for but now I see that it's an area where the top chafes a bit when lowered. I do noticed a little paint rubbing on the top here. Nothing bad, but i'm looking for a equivalent strip to reinstall here
I actually purchased a different set of trim off ebay. $100 for all three parts. That way i could take my time in prep and paint and not have to rush since the top needs to stay down until you get the trim back on. I saved my original trim just in case the paint doesn't hold up. In that case, i'll send the trim to a guy I know who can powdercoat it for me.
